It's the acceptance that counts. <br />________________________<br /><br />knancy,<br />I thought the first two years was just general high-schooly stuff. The basics. <br /><br />Our junior college has a 2+2 or some such dealybobber with Rolla, Missouri University of Science and Technology. They offer courses that transfer seamlessly after two years.<br /><br />Rolla used to be called the School of Mines and Metallurgy. We called it plain ol' UMR. All the engineers go there. It's our Georgia Tech. Here's a link with some fast facts:<br /><br />http://mfge.mst.edu/umrfacts.html<br /><br />Anyway, I'm having a hard time cutting the apron strings. The juco is only 10 miles away. He could live and eat at home. And be somewhat supervised instead of going wild the first two years. I'm remembering what I was like when I went away to SMSU. Which has now changed its name to Missouri State University. I can't keep up with all the new nomenclature. <br /><br />And I forgot about the Missouri Bright Flight scholarships. He was looking into that last year. He seems OH SO EAGER to escape my clutches!Hillbilly Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18067833789262242514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7896508460812112761.post-58620621657670421282011-04-13T13:05:58.046-05:002011-04-13T13:05:58.046-05:00I will be blunt - do not let him go to a "Jun...I will be blunt - do not let him go to a "Junior College". He needs to go to at least a state university. Check on line for scholarship help. There is a big difference between a college and a university. He needs to experience that. I can't wait to hear your angst in filling out all the scholarship forms!knancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01676773933097423968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7896508460812112761.post-87059880382557591552011-04-12T23:07:28.520-05:002011-04-12T23:07:28.520-05:00GOING to Harvard isn't the goal for us redneck...GOING to Harvard isn't the goal for us redneck folks, HM.
