Well technically I live in DC now. My mom bought a smaller house down in Massaponax, which is closer to MWU. The only issue is we don't know when we are moving to it. They found some mold and issues in the house, so they are trying to get rid of it. Best case scenario, we will be there around Jan-Feb. worst case scenario it could be Mar-Apr. My mom said to look at colleges close to DC (I would just go to some community college) or possibly ones near massaponax (hopefully I could go to UMW). Obviously these schools are just steeping stones to my preferred school (ODU).
We've walked around the UMW campus, and my mom loves the vibe. Small town, mainly girls, safe, etc. I want her to see ODU before just assuming I should go to UMW. =\
We are getting started on my application. I'm taking the SAT again an we will be lookin into FAFSA & other types of aid too.

Thanks!
