High School Seniors! Are you attending college In-State or Out-Of-State and why?

Posted by RJ1919 on February 16, 2011 at 12:27am

Benefits for staying In-State


1.Usually lower coast so less financial debt for you. (Many don't think of this until it's to late. Not to say that In State Students don't get loan after loan after loan and just dump themselves in debt, some do).

2.Family can come to many of your games

3.Not far away from home, really depends on the area.

4.Strengthens In State Universities and Bands

5.Many friends might stay in state so you will probably have more people to hang with.

 

Benefits for going Out-Of-State

 

1.Seeing other places than your own state

2.Different culture of people, more than likely

3.Being far away from family so they won't make an unannounced trip to your university..

4.Going somewhere different to create a legacy of your own.

5.Out of State Fee Waived that's if the University or Band has that luxury. (Keep in mind to offset costs you can also try for scholarships.

 

Mind you it all depends on the band and school you are apart of so i'm talking in general. Many things very for the person.

    Personally, I dont have an out of state choice unless it was an HBCU choice. I'm staying close to home and going to University of Houston because they have multiple programs to suit what I might want to major in..main one is Pharmacy(Pharmacology)

    There is not anythign cheap about UoH mainly because they are a growing campus and it is a very very very cultural campus. and I am going into their band program...morei nterested in Jazz and Classical ensembles.

     

    but you are correct on both sides. but money is the main issue! my chem/physics teacher has a son attending Georiga Tech and he pays $$$$$$ for him. But I really suggest to many seniors, look for the school who has your major and is well known for it then match your band style with it.

    Don't for get academic scholarships that usually pay for everything. If you are deep in your books in have a high gpa you usually can get a academic scholarship at many schools. People need to take their academics more serious and stop settling for C's and D's.

    Well I stay in georgia but im going out of state because im into band and georgia dosent have any bands that I personally like. Plus out of state is offering the money. I think most atl band students leave ga because honestly nobody wants to go to a college band that your high school band can outplay. Honestly every hbcu band in georgia excepte albany can be outplayed by 5 or more high school bands in atl area

    yeah, even qualify for grants!! But I can not stand people who sit there and accept a C or a D..even Failure. Some people just really dont care at all. Take care of business, quit the 6 day a week party. only party should be going to on a weekly basis is God's Party!  Go for As, Bs are acceptable. Especially for those who dream of graduate/professional school, need a damn good GPA...Me, i need a 3.35 to get into Pharmacy school, I currently have a 3.0(just started college classes in the fall along with going to high school) Im hitting the books twice as hard because I'm taking easy @$$ courses, when i start taking ORganic Chemistry, Micro Biology, analytical Chemistry and all that good stuff.

    Strive for As in your basics that way if you accidently slip up on a tougher class, It will nto affect you as much. Same thing for high school FRESHMAN!! GRADES MATTER AFTER JUNIOR HIGH!!!!!!!!

    well i stay in tennessee and i got accepted to an out of state school, Jackson State University. the reason why i chose JSU is due to the fact that mississippi is my home-state, i miss it.. 2.) jackson state has arguably the best band and music programs in the nation. 3.) no in state school really sparked my intrest, except TNSU, but my friends who grad last yr and went to tnsu now are at the university of memphis and other schools....i dont wana speak  malice towards the institution so i wont put up what they said about the school, but the info i reiceved where from more than 3 ppl,. 4.) jsu has a rich tradition and i love everything about jsu and the "BOOM"...so thats why i chose an out-of-state school..

    I plan on going to college out of state weather HBCU or not because it juts so more opportunities out there in other states and staying Here in Arkansas its a lot of opportunities but its basically my comfort zone and I have to get out of my comfort zone and get out there in the real world as far and as financial issues I have to make sure I work hard enough to get as much scholarships as possible... basically the I think out of state is a better choice because you can meet new people and run into more opportunities to be successful. For Example if I went to college in Houston, Houston is a big city and has a bigger population than my home city Little Rock. Which gives more opportunities
