Rush at UofA

[clairedelune]

I think we will end up going to the orientation in the summer, you guys win, so I thank you all for giving me some good debate points =]

But you must admit, the money going towards two round-trip flights from Birmingham to Orlando, one maybe two nights in a hotel plus a rental car could have gone to a super sweet rush outfit, haha.

Nobody is trying to "win" here. All people are doing is giving you advice. Advice that will help you get the classes you want/need as well as put you on an even playing field with the other 1400+/- PNMs. You don't want to go into a highly competitive recruitment already at a disadvantage.

But you must admit that a "super sweet rush outfit" won't matter much if you don't have any parties to wear it to.

whoa...those comments were taken way out of context. I meant that you guys made your points and attending orientation earlier in the summer is a much smarter choice than attending a few days before school starts, even if it does cost a lot more money.. money that could be spent elsewhere instead of two trips for my parents to Tuscaloosa, that's all.

It really isn't that bad of a drive, even with gas prices as they are. I would recommend driving so you can get the hang of it for when you inevitably have a car at school and want to drive home for a break.

A rush outfit? Just one??
Maybe a wardrobe...
