Now, geology students are a bunch of loving dorks. They're alright for the most part, but don't really get that not everyone is as excited about the stuff they're doing as they are. They all have field camp stories that are essentially even less interesting versions of basic training stories, but in their eyes are the equivalent of a year in Vietnam.

Meh. At least they're outside getting exercise and fresh air sometimes. More than can be said for nursing students.

What's Columbia like? The BAH looks silly but it's loving New York. How much does it cost to live in the dorms? I'm saving money by living with family in a familiar city going to a decent state school, but am not opposed to finishing my last 2 years somewhere better. Though I'd rather go to Cornell if possible since it's got a better engineering program.

If you're looking at Cornell for engineering, you might as well look at RIT, Hopkins, or MIT. They're about as good as you're going to get on the east coast when it comes to engineering.

Budget 1200 to 1400 for a room, plus utilities, out of your BAH -- assuming you want to live in walking distance of campus. You can live further away for cheaper, down to 800 or 900 for a room in Brooklyn (1hr commute, not recommended). Most vets I know here have 100% GI bill and seem to not know what to do with their extra money.

But the university housing prices I mentioned come with a free roommate of the university's choosing. If you want to live alone in a studio, think $2000+

We have the same thing at my school only they pretty it up by calling it "Business communications for engineers", instead of "how to live with Aspergers" Not sure how you crazy fucks can handle 19 credits and such, I can barely handle 13 -Fundamentals of Electronics +Lab -Differential Equations and Linear Algebra -Embedded Design and Robotics +Lab

Deathy McDeath posted:This is true. Even with regular spending habits you can save up a ton of money while you're here. One thing I love about BAH in big cities is that the good schools tend to be in expensive neighborhoods, while you can live in the cheap ones. West Philadelphia vs University City, for example. I pay $500/m out of my 2k, combined with the marginal amount of money I make at a part-time research gig, I've been cash positive going to one of the most expensive schools in the nation.

I'm thinking about going back to school this fall and I'll be living with my parents and pulling that GI Bill money. I mean, the BAH in this area is poo poo but it's better than nothing.

I get why people do this from a money perspective, but I don't get why people do it from a "don't be a loving scrub" perspective. Once you've lived adulthood, going back and living with your parents is the worst. Unless you live in a college town associated with a huge state school, just don't. Even then, probably don't. Apply to good schools at least an hour from home. It's kind of pathetic when college kids go home every weekend, it's just silly when adults live at home when they aren't forced to. GI Bill is enough to live wherever a school is.

I think it's a good idea man. I moved back in with my parents for a few months after my troubles and it made a difference. Definitely good for you to have that emotional support close by and not be stuck with your own thoughts at home.

Ok man, I'm sorry. I didn't know that. There's a big difference between "I'm moving back to be with family to help me through a crisis" and "I can totally save on rent by living with my parents while I pull BAH," and I assumed the latter, since that's usually what I heard while I was in. The former is a completely legitimate plan, and likely a good idea. I hope things turn the corner for you, really sorry to hear that.

BAH isn't all what it's cracked up to be depending where you are, it's only $1040 a month here and the only places you can live while having enough left over to get you by without having to work are in the ghetto as gently caress places. That said, there are pell grants you can cash in too.
