I'm moving to Columbus Ohio. Can anyone tell me about the city?

I'm moving to Columbus Ohio. Can anyone tell me about the city?
I have kids, ages 2 1/2 and 8 weeks, so I need to know about children's activities. I also don't have a place to live yet, we're staying with family until we find a place, so I need to know what are good neighborhoods with relatively cheap places to rent. Anyone who knows of any job openings could let me know. I have a B.S. in psychology and my boyfriend only has a high school diploma. If any of you have kids, please let me know what the school systems are like and where some good preschools/day care centers are located so I can check them out. We are moving from a small town in Kentucky that has no opportunities for either of us and terrible school systems. I'm very stressed, so please help!

I have only been to Columbus a few times, but it seems like a great city.

i've been there couple of times and its a great city! i think you will like it!

COSI and the Columbus Zoo are both fabulous family places to go any time of year. The French market is great too. My sister and her family lived in Columbus for a few years and loved it. If you're not already, get ready to be a Buckeyes fan, they live and breathe it there. The Ohio State University is affiliated with one of the hospital systems there so it's a teaching hospital, if you are looking to go further with your degree, consider applying there. I'm sorry I don't know what to tell you about housing, it's such a different city. Very expensive houses surrounded by college students. Look around and see where you feel comfortable. There are so many options. It's big and loud, but very friendly.

The Dublin ( north side) and Easton ( East of course) suburbs are superb as far as amenities and the people who live in the area. If you like historic, try Germantown, an area just south of the city center that has many beautifully restored old buildings and a well kept neighborhood. All of the above are the stand outs, but as far as cheap goes, it's pretty much scatter shot all across the city, and like any city Columbus does have it's seedy areas. Don't worry, the decent ones aren't hard to find. When you move there, try a couple of places on Vine St. just North of the City's center...The North Market, which is a great place to pick up things like gourmet cheeses, bread and other great food...and This Thai reaturant on the same street called Thai-Phoon, it's nice inside and the food is above average.

my wife and i lived in columbus for a little over 5 yrs..couldnt wait to leave..very busy city..very overly populated unless you live on the outskirts..their are some nice (??) places..mostly appartments..all require refernces and a nifty security deposit..we lived off morris ave. not to far from rt 71...like i said..it can be a rough place to live...there is a day school/child preschool almost within walking distance from those apartments...also up morris ave. are various grocery stores and a wall-mart...tons of restaraunts..pro hockey...osu sports..which pretty much owns that city...oberlin college...catholic schools not to far from were we lived..also some storage buildings...i think (???) they were the ''carlton apts'''...good luck...i can think of better cities to live in...rt 271 goes totaly around the outskirts of the city...lots of buisnesses..just take your time and shop around ...NOT downtown...enjoy...beam me up buckeyes

I live just outside of Columbus. I don't suggest moving actually into Columbus. It is very busy with the airport, OSU, theaters, COSI, the Blue Jackets (Hockey), the Clippers (baseball) and everything else downtown. I moved here from a small town and love it!! Being in the suburbs puts you close to many activities but far enough away to avoid the major conjestions of the city. Some of the better school districts are Dublin, Powell, New Albany, Pickerington, but you'll pay higher living costs in these areas. If you have children though, it's worth it for their education. Some other areas are Reynoldsburg, , Lancaster, Pataskala, Grove City, Canal Winchester. There are many daycare centers Rainbow Station is the only on I can think of off the top of my head. The YMCA also offers child care and I know they have a scholarship program for families with lower income. There are jobs everywhere, but it may take a little bit to find something in your field. You can always find something in the meantime. There are retail stores adn malls everywhere, along with many distribution centers (GAP, Limited, Too Inc, Victoria's Secret, Eddie Bauer, etc.). As I said, I love living here, there are so many opportunities for my daughter here that there wouldn't be in a smaller town. But the suburbs are the way to go. I read the previous replies, outerbelt Route 270 runs all the way around Columbus, it makes for easier commute to wherever, but I would suggest living outside of the outerbelt, versus inside. Check out the foolowing link for apartments; http://www.forrent.com/ . I think it'll also give you a link to check out he school systems. Good Luck and I do hope you're ready to be a Buckeye Fan, it comes with teh territory.

I live 65 miles north of Columbus. the cost of living would be less in a smaller town. Lots of houses for sale here,but jobs are scarce.

Grandview Heights is a great little suburb only a couple of miles from downtown, and there are some very reasonably priced homes there. The schools are great - personal attention and small classes and all that, and it's just a very pleasant place to live.

Upper Arlington has good schools, but is pretty pricey. Same with New Albany. You might want to check out Westerville, Worthington and Dublin. All have good solid schools, but you might be able to slide into some of those neigborhoods without breaking the bank. http://ColumbusWebDirectory.com

Columbus Ohio...info about the area

Columbus Ohio...info about the area?
I graduate in May with a bachelors in health studies. I plan on moving to or near Columbus Ohio shortly after to attend nursing school to become an RN. But the thing is that Im a single parent with 2 kids so obviously I have to work while I attend nursing school. So my question is what is the cost of living like in the Columbus area? Like the prices of apartments? Safe areas to live, decent schools and daycares? And the abundance of jobs in the area? Oh and I plan to do some of my degree online but OBVIOUSLY I have to do my clinicals and hands on training in Columbus, so areas around Columbus to live would be nice to know as well. Thanks! LOL...I actually live in Michigan. Born and raised here so of course the weather is not a problem to me, if your from the north the weather doesnt even phase you...

Congratulations on your future graduation! I wish you the best for you and your family. You may want to do more research on the area you plan to move to. Unless you have other advantages/reasons for moving to Columbus, such as family, etc., you may be better off in the long run to move to another city in the US to cointinue your studies. Columbus, Ohio, and the Midwest region of the country in general, have been facing major and continuing job losses, and while nursing may be a relatively stable career, you may want to consider moving to a city that has a more diverse economy, and therefore, a lower overall unemployment rate, and future job growth and expansion. Ohio has lost population for decades, and they have recently been among the highest states in rates of foreclosure. There is more to Columbus than a job: it's weather can be depressing during the winter, with gray skies and freezing temperatures daily, and once it snows, the snow generally lingers for two months or more. You will learn the true meaning of "cabin fever" if you live in Columbus for any length of time. While I enjoyed many things about living in the Columbus area, I was a native of the South, and I dont know if that is why I never felt welcome there. The culture is different, less friendly (I gave it 10 years!) than in the South, although I must say that in Cincinnati, the culture is a bit more southern. I loved the history of Ohio, and explored many places while there. Traditions in Columbus include THE Ohio State University and the Buckeyes, and wearing Scarlet and Gray is an unspoken requirement if you ever want to have a chance of being accepted. Buckeye football is a topic of discussion 24/7/365. To answer some of your questions: So my question is what is the cost of living like in the Columbus area? Like the prices of apartments? It depends on what part of the city you live. I paid ranges from $550. to 650 the last year I lived there (2007). http://factfinder.census.gov/servlet/QTTable?_bm=y&-geo_id=04000US39&-qr_name=DEC_2000_SF3_U_DP4&-ds_name=DEC_2000_SF3_U&-redoLog=false Safe areas to live, decent schools and daycares? The northern suburbs have good school districts, but are also more expensive to live in. Dublin, Delaware, Westerville. Upper Arlington is more expensive. And the abundance of jobs in the area? Daily news reports of another company closing, jobs being lost, etc., was very depressing, (along with the weather), and was a major determinant in my decision to relocate. Michigan ("That State Up North"), has lost many jobs, and consider that Ohio's employment rate may be affected by the influx of Michiganers coming to look for work in OH. Overall, I loved the years that I lived in Ohio, and while it didnt work out exactly as I would have liked, I learned so much and am grateful for having had the opportunity and experience. I learned how to pack up and move and relocate to any other place, and make a life in a new place, among other things. If you are looking to settle in and stay for the rest of your life, another city that has a more promising future, stable economy, etc., would be a better choice in the long run.

There are many ways to work with BeautiControl. They train you to have Spa parties in which you can customize skincare the guests, sell spa/body products and cosmetics. They also train you to determine peoples "seasons" and which colors are best for them both in wardrobe and cosmetics, with make-up application techniques. Another route is being Bridal consultant, they supply everything you need to help brides with there big day, regarding dress type, hair style & veil choice, skincare, make-up and relaxation techniques. Another option is going in to businesses and having mini stress breaks. I have hosted parties at my house, gone to peoples houses and hosted parties for them, gone into businesses for the stress breaks and now I use the products with my massage clients. The products are wonderful and they sell themselves. I am pretty new to BC, but so far I love it. I joined for the skincare because I had heard wonderful things about it, and because to remain a consultant and receive the discount on the skincare you just have to place a $100 retail order every 3 months. (minus discount). Now I am building a business for myself, so I can stay at home with my little girl, she is one month old. BC supplies everything to start your own business. All for $99, what an opportunity! It's usually $250 to join and receive over $500 in products but this month it's $99! If you are interested, email me or check out my site listed below in sources.

Thinking of returning to Columbus, Ohio after teaching in Korea - good idea?
I was born and raised in Columbus - went to Ohio Dominican, got a BA in Communications, and later a Masters in TESOL. However, most of my family is deceased now. I like the city and know it still has some growth compared to the rest of Ohio, but I am not a licensed teacher. I have been teaching in Korea for nearly two years and will return for a visit in February. I would permanently return in November 2007. How do you like Columbus, and what attracts you to it? I am not sure what I would be doing there as I would not be teaching in the schools, but I am open to opportunities. Just tell me what you like and dislike about Columbus. I appreciate all answers.

Drew, I came to Columbus in 1988 for school. I am still here and will probably be here for a long time. Columbus has that small town feel with a big city appeal. I have seen a lot of growth since moving here. The suburbs have developed some fantastic school districts. The city life is OK and shopping is good. If you like golf, you will love Columbus. It is now the biggest city in Ohio and rivals (if not exceeds) other cities like Pittsburgh and Indianapolis in population. Crime seems to be a relative non-issue and unemployment is very low. Being a government city as well as a College city, you get a good mixture of jobs and people. You could certainly do worse than Columbus----like Cleveland! ; - ) Good luck!

I have lived in Vb for about 30 years but have only passed through Ohio 1x so my info is limited. I do know there are many many places where you'd be very welcome as an experienced proffessional around here. As with most places I imagine there are good neighbor hoods and bad ones. If you want I can give you an opinion on certain places if you find something interesting. Some of the realtors and apartment places will either flat out tell you they cant tell you about it or they glaze it over. Which makes me angry because all 3 of my kids are still little and I'm alone at the house during the day.

The best place to find out would be to contact the Community College and find out their particular policies, though you can generally co-enroll as long as you're a senior. The main thing you'll want to find out though is if the community college credits are transferable to a university, if that's where you intend to go. Also, when you first get to college, they will look at you SAT math and english scores and place you in an appropriate class regardless of the classes you take in high school. For example, you may take Calculus AP, but get placed in Math 127, pre-calc. Get all your information first and don't take classes they may end up being worth nothing towards your graduation.

It depends on what kind of budget you have, but the general rule is to stay west of High Street (the eastern border of campus). You're even better off staying west of highway 315, but there are still some nice neighborhoods between the two roads to the south of campus (Victorian Village and Short North). You may want to check out Grandview or Upper Arlington, or the southeastern section of Dublin (inside the I-270 loop). There are also some decent areas in Columbus proper in the same general area.

Assuming you don't prefer a particular brand of religion, you might put a call in to Columbus State Community College to ask about their music opportunities. Another option might be a Unitarian-Universalist congregation--they don't care what you believe specifically, it's an inclusive kind of religion. You might also ask at music stores where voice lessons are offered--the teachers could have insights into community choirs.

Graduating high school, going to a Vet college in Columbus, I need some advice.?

Graduating high school, going to a Vet college in Columbus, I need some advice.?
Im a senior from north-west Ohio and im graduating come May 31st. Ive made my choice in what i want to do and be in life. My career goals include attending this wondeful Veterinary Technician School in Columbus, Ohio (Bradford) and then eventually going back to school to obtain a my VMD. Ive checked out the school many times and I love it! My program will take 1 1/2 - 2 yrs. I have been thinking about living on campus, but i really hate the idea of living with 3 other girls and not have my own room. I am a person who likes privacy. PLUS it would cost an extra $16,000 in tuition to live on campus. By not living on campus I will save that $16,000. BTW mommy and daddy arent paying for this lol. Ive been thinking: (1) about an online college. (2) about how long I should wait after high school to attend Bradford. (3) about finding an apartment closer to Columbus and the cost- utilities ect... (4) about transferring my job location to Columbus (currently work at a Red Lobster)

I have some questions and comments: - where would you live if not on-campus? If you can't commute from home, you will pay at least that much. - it's good that you checked out the Bradford school. However, some to many of those credits will not transfer to a pre-vet program--have you investigated how many would actually transfer? The Vet tech program is called applied science, which means it isn't as rigorous a program as a regular pre-vet program would be. - check with your local community and senior colleges about online programs. Don't do a for-profit online program as vet schools will probably not accept the degree or the credits. - check the Columbus Craigslist page for ideas on sharing a house off-campus in an area near the school. Unless it's very close, you would also need a car or have access to public transportation. You might find that the on-campus situation is quite a bit cheaper. - You could take off before attending Bradford, but I would have a definite purpose in having a "gap year". Also remember that your parents need to fill out your financial aid application form, not just you. Any money you earn in that gap year will count against you for FA purposes. One idea would be to work in AmeriCorps for nine months. You would work somewhere in the country on social projects, and would receive a $4,500 scholarship toward your college upon completion of the program. A good deal! - If you are a good employee at Red Lobster, they would probably help you transfer to Columbus. Remember though, that means you would probably need a car if you work off-campus. Figure that in your budgeting. Is $16,000 for 12 months or the whole program? That matters, too. You sound very motivated and goal-oriented! Congratulations, and I wish you the best in your decisions.

Don't do on-line if you can avoid it. Simply go down to your local CC and enrol. If you can enrol in HS then IMHO that will be even better. Take a standard pre med type sequence. Without a doubt this will be your cheapest option - CC subjects done at HS are usually free. Then transfer to your local state school (in your case Ohio state) to complete the final years of a professional degree in veterinary science: http://vet.osu.edu/home.htm They tel you the subjects you need to do to get in: http://www.vet.ohio-state.edu/2537.htm You can probably do all of them at a CC - but check with Ohio state first. The site is unclear if they will admit you without a BS. So you may need to contact them about it. Also that is for a professional doctorate in veterinary science. They have Masters programs as well. Best of luck Thanks Bill

Let's examine the pros and cons. This looks like an excellent program. However, if your long-term goal is to become a veteranarian, this might or might not be a good start. Almost none of the credits you earn in this program is likely to count toward further education--to get to be a vet, you'll need to get a bachelor's degree (with lots and lots of science and math) and then get accepted to a graduate program--your AAS degree courses won't go toward that bachelor's and certainly not toward the DVM program. That said, it's hideously difficult to get into a veterinary program. You'll need to have not only masterful GPA and entrance exam scores, but most vet colleges want you to have large-animal experience, and letters of recommendation from practicing vets are also quite helpful. If starting as a vet's tech would get you the experience and some recommendations, it could be the surest way. And you'll retain the option of just finishing out your career as a vet's tech and not worry about further education if you find it fulfilling. As for practical stuff; I wouldn't trust a vet tech who studied online, and probably few vets would either. You should start your higher education ASAP after high school, otherwise you'll find your academic skills shrinking. Living on campus might cost you $16K, but what would living off-campus cost? You'll want to be fairly close to the school considering where gasoline prices are heading. I've checked briefly some apartment ads in that part of Columbus and it looks like you'd be paying $400-700 per month, and if you shop well you should be able to get utilities included in those upper prices. Now, does the on-campus housing include food and laundry and such additional expenses? Seems to me that you'd pay over $1000 per month either way, so the greater privacy off-campus might be preferable. Note: you might be near the flight path for the airport, if noise is a concern--if not, lower prices might be found in that corridor. And there's a Red Lobster on that side of town, right near I-70, not too far of a drive (gas prices, again, right?).

You don't say how old you are or when you dropped out of high school. At a certain point your only option is going to be a GED. You need to talk to your school district about if and how you can get a high school diploma. You can also ask at your public library-they can point you in the right direction to research on line or in the library If you just want to serve your country, then check into the other branches of the military

Honestly, I don't know anything about any of the schools you mention here -- but perhaps I can offer you some information that will help you decide for yourself: First of all, I don't really believe in the idea that there's a 'best' school; the choice of the best culinary school is personal and the best school for you might not be the best school for someone else. So, my first piece of advice is that you consider carefully what you need to get out of your culinary school experience. What gaps in your knowledge are you looking to fill? Are you just looking for a piece of paper (you know, a diploma or a degree...) that attests to your skill in order to get your career started? Take the time to list out the things you need to get out of your experience and then go out to each of these schools and measure how they score on your own personal evaluation scale. If you're looking to launch your career and feel you need that diploma to get you started, then the reputation of the schools with the chefs you hope will hire you once you graduate will be at the top of your list. Go out and speak with chefs, HR people, etc. and ask them about the reputation of each of these schools. Most chefs are willing to help someone out that has a passion for this profession (I recommend you try to catch them in the morning around 11am or in the afternoon, after the lunch rush and before dinner -- respect their time!). Other things you should look into: The qualifications of the Instructors. How many years experience do they have? Is that experience in fine dining? or in more industrial sorts of operations? Ask about any awards or accolades. Also ask about their teaching experience and what kind of training the school provides them to keep them sharp and on top of the latest culinary trends. Ask about class sizes: many schools talk about their student teacher ratio because their classes are very large. Then they throw a few under-qualified 'Assistant Instructors' in the classroom to lower their ratio -- you want a school that limits the number of students in the kitchen classroom to 20 or less and you want to make sure that you'll be working with qualified Head Instructors, not 'assistants' or 'associates'. Inspect the facilities. Make sure they have enough equipment for the numbers of students they're teaching. Do the kitchens look new, clean and well-cared for? Definitely speak with at least a couple of students and recent graduates. Ask about their experiences at school: did they learn the sorts of things they expected to learn? was the teaching environment conducive to learning? did each student get plenty of hands-on experience or did they have to compete with their fellow classmates for their turn at the stove (every student should really cook every day, but at some schools they make some students watch while their classmates cook and take turns)? Ask graduates about their experiences after graduation. Did they get the sort of placement help they expected? Did they learn the things in school that their hiring chef expected them to know once they got on the job? Also interview the Chef Instructors. You will be counting on these people to teach you. You should probably like them and absolutely better respect them, their experience and their attitude towards cooking. In addition to placement rates and graduation rates, the schools should be able to tell you about where their graduates go to work. It would be worth your while to contact those hiring restaurants or hotels and confirm the school's claims. Also ask the the hiring chef their opinion of the quality of the program. It's a lot of homework to perform, but considering the investment of time and money you're about to make, it's worth the up-front investment. We hear from a lot of students that start in a program only to quit before they finish because it didn't turn out to be ask they expected. Don't make that mistake. I hope you find this helpful. Good luck to you.

It all depends on what you're looking for. I don't know about local clubs, those probably change pretty regularly, but there are museums, sports, shopping, concerts at nearby venues, and lots of things geared toward college students. It's less than 2 hours from Cleveland so if there's something you're dying to do in the "big" city, it's not that far away. I love living in Ohio, but it's not the place for everyone. See if you can visit your friend for a weekend, or set up a visit where you can stay on camups with OSU students. You may have to find your entertainment, and with such a big school they may not have events planned as regularly as a small school. If you want REALLY boring (but I still loved it), check out Ashland University, which is about an hour north of Columbus.


2
Not only is Columbus the capital, but OSU is the largest university in the country, with more than 40,000 students. They have every student activity that it's possible to have. Some people actually mean they think the entire midwest is boring. I, for example, need mountains around. No mountains worth the name in Ohio. Depends on what you like. I sure wouldn't let somebody's personal opinion keep me from going to a school that I'd probably like. Have you had a chance to visit the school and check it out for yourself? I'd try to do that.


3
Thats the craziest thing i have heard lol i live about 15 minutes away from the college I am 17 I plan on going there in the fall.. it is far from boring there is clubs everywhere there Is always something going on. I mean if you like to party then it is def. right for you but even if you are into other things there is a ton of options to go on around there..


4
Like some of the other responses have noted, it really depends on what constitutes "fun" for you. If you like going out to movies, there are quite a few decent theaters, including indie theaters. If you like restaurants and/or bars and clubs, there are several that offer wide ranges of cuisine and atmosphere. If you like the frat party/kegger scene, that's also an option. Columbus has a pretty extensive park system, and there are many miles of bike trails all over the city for the more outdoorsy set. Though again, it's not particularly hilly or mountainous, so if you love skiing and all-terrain hiking, then Columbus isn't the best choice for that kind of thing. There are various art fairs and ethnic festivals throughout the year either in the city or in the immediate suburbs. In short, there's plenty of things to do for most people, even ones who don't love football (just sleep in on autumn Saturdays). It doesn't have as much hustle-and-bustle of bigger cities like New York or LA, but that doesn't mean it's some sleepy, one stoplight kind of town either. There's close to 2 million people in the Columbus metro area, so it's still a decent-sized place.

The Ohio State University is awesome! It's really big so there is pretty much anything you could want to do there. My sister goes there and she loves it. Columbus is a great city also, however for raising a family I would suggest a suburb like Dublin or Westerville or Hilliard or Worthington. There a tons of suburbs because Columbus Public Schools are pretty much what you would expect from a big inner city. I have lived in Columbus for about 6 years and I went to high school in Dublin. I chose to attend a community college to save money, but OSU really is a great school. Also, they will accept almost anyone to their satellite campus there is one in Newark and one in Delaware which are only about 30 mins outside Columbus.

I used to live in Ohio, and always found columbus to be the cleanest of the Ohio cities. There are many things to do in Columbus including some cool museums (Cosi), the Zoo, etc. Ohio State is an OK school to attend, a little to big for my tastes (I went to Ohio University). I think with OSU you get out of it what you put into it...as with any school, but more so there. Columbus and the surrounding towns are great places to bring up kids for the reasons above, clean, friendly, good schools, educational non-school things to do, culture, etc. good luck, I am sure you will love Columbus.

My income from my inheritance generates $1400/month...more than enough to make the condo payment with no money down..and I can work part-time as a nurse RN. or should I wait until I graduate and just continue to rent?????

1
That seems like a high price for that many (or few) square feet. Keep in mind that you also have to pay insurance and taxes and upkeep and utilities. You might find it cheaper to rent one of the condos in that same place. Look into it before making that decision to buy...


2
i think you should continue to rent ur house since ur salary is only $1400


3
Its always better to own. If you buy you are paying yourself rent. You should get the money back when you sell if you get enough equity. Why give your money to someone else?


4
I would work part time as a RN and go ahead and get the condo. Why waste your money on rent. Go for it!! Welcome neighbor, I live in Zanesville.


5
$160K for a 1 br 850 foot condo in Columbus? Um, I think you better think that over. The real estate market is going down, and condos are always hurt the most in a real-estate slide. The chances you won't have any equity in your home after a few years are very good, I think. Rent yourself something cheap in Reynoldsburg and take yourself out for a few nice dinners when you get stressed out from studying.


6
Because of your age.........and what the future can be.....I would say Buy if you can afford it.......but I don't think an apartment is what you'd want. Because that is all a condo is....think of it like that...........would you then want to buy it. You'd be paying for upkeep each month too.....why not keep up just what is yours. with that here in Iowa you could buy a 3 bedroom house.


7
How long are you planning on staying? Will you stay after you graduate? How is the market? Are condos selling and reselling w/o being on the market longer than you are willing to wait? If you rent you are throwing your money away but if you buy then if the homes/condos in the area have been gaining equity then go for the buy!


8
Can you buy other real estate instead of a condo? Real estate prices have plummeted in many areas and this would be a good time to invest in a house. Condos have had a history of not retaining value unless they are in a metropolitan area. The downside to a house is that you are the one who has to maintain the house, whereas a condo you might pay a fee to keep it maintained . You should talk to a Realtor or investment manager about how to best use your money. I am also in graduate school and if you can get away without working while in graduate school, you are a lucky person.


9
If your studies will take you somewhere else you might want to think about it. Then again, the housing market is the place to be. So maybe look into a house as opposed to a condo and as the market clears you'll have a nice marginal profit. Regardless, take the estimated amount you will spend during the span of time you expect to own the house, including payments, insurance, rent, groceries,etc.... Add it to the present value of your house. Then subtract it from the price you expect to sell it at in the future. Take the answer of the previous problem and subtract it from the amount you expect to make at your job in that same time. Then ask yourself, is this worth it? That's what I would do. Hope I helped.


10
Since you did not indicate what rent you are paying monthly, that figure would be useful in making an economic calculation of whether to rent or buy. Your investment is earning $ 16,800 per year. If you purchase you are responsible for mortgage interest and principal,on $160,000 over the life of the mortgage, property taxes, condo fees for grounds and maintenance,all interior maintenance work, utilities including heat. At the end of grad school (? yrs.) will you be able to get back the remaining principal through the sale of the property or will the fact it is one room be a deterrent? If you plan to settle in the Columbus area aftergrad school that might also convince you to buy.Suggest you do the homework prior to committing!


11
Well, you said that you can be a part time nurse so I am assuming that buying this place is not so much of a risk. When you become a nurse I am sure that you will be able to own the condo and pay for it with no problem. If you like it, go for it.

I don't know Fordham but I looked online and saw that it was a Jesuit University. I am from Ohio and very familiar with OSU. It is one of the best schools in the nation. I also see Forham is in NY. You have to decide what type of lifestyle you prefer. Do you want to go to a religious school with this influence and in a major city or do you want to go to a non-secular school in a smaller town environment (Columbus is hardly the same as NYC). I love Ohio and I've lived in many states. Columbus is a decent community and has grown into an even nicer place. It is clean with homespun attitudes. You won't go wrong going to OSU, which is a well-known school and looks very good on resumes. But, I don't know you. You should go to both locations, take a tour and spend a few days there and see what YOU think.

I don't know Fordham but I looked online and saw that it was a Jesuit University. I am from Ohio and very familiar with OSU. It is one of the best schools in the nation. I also see Forham is in NY. You have to decide what type of lifestyle you prefer. Do you want to go to a religious school with this influence and in a major city or do you want to go to a non-secular school in a smaller town environment (Columbus is hardly the same as NYC). I love Ohio and I've lived in many states. Columbus is a decent community and has grown into an even nicer place. It is clean with homespun attitudes. You won't go wrong going to OSU, which is a well-known school and looks very good on resumes. But, I don't know you. You should go to both locations, take a tour and spend a few days there and see what YOU think.

The website for Columbus Public Schools is http://www.columbus.k12.oh.us/index.html. I am a 2001 graduate of Columbus Public Schools. Most, if not all, of our high schools have volleyball and dance teams. Some also have modified dress codes, such as no tank tops, no short shorts/skirts. I know of one (East High School) that requires you to wear white tops and black bottoms, but not official uniforms. My school was Eastmoor Academy. We also had golf and tennis. I wish you luck, and welcome to Columbus, OH!

A good private school does help. Everything "helps", but of course you would have the other credentials as well- high test scores, good grades, volunteer work, ect. Some private and even "public" schools are known as "feeder" schools for certain colleges, and those feeder schools have many students that "feed" into top tier colleges/or just "certain" colleges & Universities. I'm not sure if Columbus School For Girls is one of them but it's something you may want to investigate a little. It can't hurt. Ask your....admissions counselor at your school or "guidance counselor (i've long since forgotten the names of such people since I've been out of hs for a while). Good luck:)


3
Yes, generally students from good private schools (there are bad schools out there) are more prepared for college work and the colleges do not want kids dropping out, that is a big thing for the colleges. Private school curriculum tends to be more rigorous compared to public school curriculum, sometimes far more. Also, most good private schools have excellent college counseling and the main goal of most private schools is to get kids into college. Good private schools have at least a 95% 4 yr college matriculation rate, many have a 100% rate. It looks like your school is strong academically, not the most rigorous, but an decent number of National Merit recognized seniors. (The most rigorous schools have about 50%+ National Merit recognized seniors.) If you do well in high school, you should have no problem getting into a great college. Typically, 100% of the girls from your school matriculate into 4 yr colleges. Good luck!

You mean like, all the bars are on High Street? Ohio State University is really big. But the medical school is in one corner of the campus so it won't be quite as bad as for an under grad. when it can sometimes take nearly an hour to get to class. In the winter the temperatures will often get to -7 at night and sometimes down as far as -15 °C but usually they get only an inch or so of snow at a time and it melts within a couple days; maybe only one deep snow storm a year. Public transportation isn't very good for Columbus, but the University has their own bus line to get around campus.

I cannot speak about the surrounding school districts except for the Southwestern SD in Grove City. Avoid that one, too much politics detracting from student issues. Columbus does have a good alternative school program with some very good facilities, the most outstanding being the Metropolitan campus at Fort Hayes. It is a college preparatory program with emphasis on the arts. The school has no sports teams and no school colors. Respect for all is strongly emphasized and the staff are very caring. The curriculum involves more classroom hours per year than all other schools in the region, an extra 45 minutes daily. Fort Hayes is strictly a magnet school, not a "home district" school and is more like a college campus than a high school. Outside of the alternative school program, I would not recommend the Columbus PSD.

I have lived in Westerville all my life and I can tell you that Upper Arlington public schools have a wonderful reputation in all aspects-academics, sports, etc. Their education system is probably the best in the Columbus area. As far as Wellington, I don't really know much about the school so I can't give you any information on it.


3
I am a teacher and a former student of both public and private schools. The answer: visit the school, ask around, and look around. In a school, first impressions say a lot. Is the principal encouraging you to attend? Do the students look alert, happy to be there? Little things like this help. I say this because private school for me was not "all that". But, the public school I teach at now is phenominal and better than all the private schools in the area. Try to meet some of the parents. They will give the best opinion. Hope this helps.

Ok, I have wondered this same question myself since in high school as I had a public school teacher who sent her own child to a private school. Here's my thoughts... If you want a religious education, send your child to a religious private school. If religious schooling is not a priority, check out the public and private schools in the area. I will tell you, I know some very successful people that went to UA public schools. I also knew a teacher from Wellington years ago that told me that they had (at the time) some of the same negative aspects of school as public schools, i.e. drugs. In this teachers opnion, I was told that it was probably worse than public schools because of the availability of money to the children. I also know someone that was a tutor for a child that went to Wellington and there was a HUGE emphasis on grades and how well the child was doing. So, I suggest weighting out all that is important to you and what is important to your child.

Hi, I've lived in Columbus for 5 years now so hopefully I'll be able to help you out a little bit. The most notable neighbourhoods in Columbus are the German village and Short North. German village has always reminded me of a little piece of Europe, good food etc. Short North is mostly an arts community - galleries, bars, food joints. If you plan on going to OSU the most access-able place to spend time would be High Street - again, cafes, bars, food joints. You will have a Buck ID from the university that you can use for bus services - but the buses don't go too far from High Street. There are music venues that might be of interest as well - basically Columbus is a college town. I personally am looking to move to Canada.

Well, I live near it, but I didn't go there so I don't know what the student experience is like. They're best known for the law school and the seminary school, not for sports or anything like that. I think it was news when their football team actually did well. I don't think it's too much of a party school. It's actually in a little suburb which is pretty boring. :P Nice place to live though. If you contact the school, they might put you in touch with a current student who could answer this better. If you want a party school in Ohio, try OU or OSU.

I would say probably not. I grew up in Columbus Ohio (AKA Slow-lumbus Slow-hio) and even though I live on the East Coast now, I do remember that the only party school there is OHIO STATE!! But then again, what do you expect for a school with almost 60K students. My best friends brother went to Capital and he used to say is a small specialized school that is known for law so most people that go there I would say are going to be very focused and mature. I wish you the best luck where ever you decide to attend!

Findlay is good if you want to major in an equine field, so they say. But then its acidemics aren't as top notch as a Miami or somesuch. We had zones at Lake Erie College once, and they have a nice facility. Ohio State also has a nice team.

There are actually 10 CAAHEP accredited programs in Ohio. Well, 9 really - don't count Sanford Brown, you don't want to go there. Just go to this link, select Diagnostic Medical Sonographer and then Ohio to see all the results. http://www.caahep.org/Find-An-Accredited-Program/ Without knowing your GPA or the requirements of the schools you'll be looking at, I have no idea if you'll get in. However, technical schools/community colleges tend to be a bit more forgiving than universities. Once you are in and are working on your pre-requisites for the program, make sure you work really hard to get good grades. A lot of DMS programs have a competitive admissions process, meaning your grades will determine how quickly you can get into the program after applying. And you also want to work hard in those pre-req classes because it will help prepare you for the DMS program. These programs are intense & stressful, and you have to keep your grades up above a C to remain in the program. So you need to develop really good study habits and test-taking skills now. Good luck :)

Hi Im a single mother of 13 yr old son with Aspergers, capd, add, sensory Integration disorder. I am looking to move to Columbus area. I have looked at state report cards and have come to the conclusion that you cant tell by the state report card if the school district actually cares about educating special needs children. For the simply fact that we were in a state report card rated excellent school district and they treated my son horribly. The one we are in now that is also rated excellent on the state report card is alot better but unfortunately I need to find a full-time job in another city because there are none available here where i live. So does anyone know of good school districts in the Columbus , ohio area ? one that will actually work with the parent and do what they say they are gonna do, follow Iep, have teachers that are trained to work with special needs children and actually enjoy it?

In my experience, ask the schools some of the following questions: -Does your school do inclusion? In what classes do you have both an intervention specialist and gen ed teacher? (the better spec. ed schools should have an inclusion option in the core classes--English, reading, math, where true team-teaching is going on) -How many intervention specialists do you have? (the more the better---this says they put their money where their mouth is!) -How many classroom aides do you have? (same as above!) Also try contacting the Office for Exceptional Children, through the Ohio Department of Education (614) 466-2650. They may be able to tell you their experiences with good schools in the area. Or, they might be able to point you in the direction of a local Columbus parent support group. GOOD LUCK!
