I go to Sacred Heart University, it's a nice University. It is entirely up to you to do what you feel is right to do. You won't like the winter here I know that lol coming from TX.
               

               It better not be "nice". It better be "great"! :)  


It's a great University, but you just won't like the winter. lol Be prepared.

             

             I know that I will be surprised by the winter, however I hope I can make some friends that can help me prepare for it.


You mean mooch lol

           

           Maybe..?? ... I will be a college student, a very very poor college student.  


Welcome to college :)

         

         Well, I hope my mom lets me go there.  


She will... she is just scared probably that you are moving so far away... she is probably having a hard time grasping things.

       

       She is begging me, and even offering stuff so that I will stay.


That is odd. She needs to let you grow up.

     

     I was talking to several teachers, and they said thats the hardest parts for mom's.      

     Some kids are not trying to go far away because their parents want them to be closer.      

     This one kid, got a full ride to a very expensive school, however her parents don't want her to go there, because its too far.


I mean... yea it is hard for parents, but at same time it is really about "letting go" deep down inside. A parent wants to keep their child with them at all times, and when the child moves out, it is almost like a loss to the parents bc their raising is over with. Your mom does want you to go, but probably has a hard time giving you up... ecpesially to a school so far away.

   

   The school is only 2,000 miles apart. Do you have any tips on trying to get her to let me go?    

   How did your parents handle you leaving?


I live at home still... SHU is only like 15 - 20 minutes away.

 

 Hmm, do you still have any tips on this?


Just sit down and talk with her. Tell her this is your life, this is the University you want to attend, this is a great school etc... tell her you have scholorships and not to worry, you will be fine. Just talk to her seriously. I mean, once you turn 18, you can go even if she says no, but you do want her approval anyway. But even still.

I need her approval, because it cost $1,000 deposit, and going to be another $1,000 for flying up there. I will be flying up there twice.

Do airline's give student discounts?
