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.

Community College in Senior Year of High school?

Community College in Senior Year of High school?
I am currently a sophomore in a high school in columbus, ohio. And for my senior year of high school, I plan to transfer to Columbus state community college to get my math, and english credits out of the way for college. Can someone explain to me how this works, and do you have to have a certain g.p.a for this to happen? My current g.p.a. is 3.0

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.

I plan on moving there this spring to go to grad school in the fall, but want to make sure I live in a nice area. But one that isn't too far off campus. Just to clarify I'm talking about a 15-20 minute drive. I'm not sure if that still means I have to live in the ghetto or not... lol

You're gonna have to live in the ghetto if you want to be that close.


2
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.

Most churches have choirs.

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.

Otterbein has a full children's/youth choral program. Also, you might thry the Columbus International Children's Choir. Both are very strong programs.

Any history museum. The public library. Any children's theater I remember visiting a bread factory in Illinois. In Oregon, I think we have a dairy that does tours for schools. Are their businesses that encourage tours for elementary students? Do any of your TV stations allow field trips? I think in Portland I hear the meteorologists talk about their talks with students. Are there other cultures that encourage tours? In Washington, one of the tribes offers a tour. Good luck.

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?).
