Western Maryland is definitely the South. It's like West Virginia and the eastern part of Kentucky, mountain living and all. I think people consider it Northern because of how industrial Baltimore is/was.thickfreakness wrote:Maryland isn't the south. Northern Virginia isn't the south.

That's crazy, if true. Struggling to decide between Berkeley and Vandy (15k/year). Such radically different schools.Rawlsian wrote:Do you have a shot at need based aid? Last year Berkeley's need based grants = $70,000+. If not, where do you want to practice?

Re: Vanderbilt 2013
I'm sorry, I misspoke. The annual maximum amount at Berkeley for non-residents is 22k, 16k for residents (which you'll probably be after the first year). Also, they take into consideration your summer earnings, so if you get a SA job your second summer, you probably won't qualify your 3rd year.general100 wrote:fomenting wrote:75k at vandy or berkeley sticker?That's crazy, if true.

If you live in Virginia you to get to say you live in the South. Forever. Doesn't matter where in Virginia. If any state/commonwealth can be called a southern state it's the Old Dominion.

$45K. I wasn't expecting anything, so it's a nice surprise. A nice surprise marred by similar numbers getting even better offers.

Crap Crap Crap. Add me to the folks trying to decide between Michigan and Vandy now. I was so set on Michigan and then Vandy gives $72k today.

Congratulations! Do as the letter advises and go for a visit. Make sure you check out the areas to the west and south of the campus.holydonkey wrote:Crap Crap Crap. Add me to the folks trying to decide between Michigan and Vandy now. I was so set on Michigan and then Vandy gives $72k today.

and 2: Nashville is definitely not redneck. Certainly, you will meet some rednecks in your day to day if your out and about, but that is probably true of most places. In general, Nashville has been able to support a very good variety of posh/modern/trendy restaurants right along with its honky-tonks. And I assure you there are plenty of liberals in the Vandy area.
Look at it this way, recently we got an all-male strip club called "arrow". I'm just saying, a town that can sustain that can't be too conservative right?
A shame about the car thing, though. Sounds like I'll have to re-learn how to drive. Thanks for the info about the Nashville atmosphere, much appreciated.

Re: Vanderbilt 2013
Honestly, one of the Vandy trolls (Observationalist) says that he's made it 3 years with no car, but you just have to live pretty close to the school. He's said that there's a couple of bus routes that are fairly standard and reliable that can get you to the main areas you'll need to be.BlankC wrote:Not gunna lie.

Eh.. If someone else can do it, I'm sure I can. I've got nothing against walking a few miles for a bus as long as it's safe to do it.

I have a few friends who don't have cars here and they get along just fine. It's really not necessary.

60k Deans Scholarship yesterday! Going to have to choose b/w there and Gtown. Does anyone know if Vandy will give any money for a visit that isnt necessarily on an ASD? Currently live abroad and strapped for cash.
