Her concern was finding a job on campus there - which I can probably manage or at least find a job in town since Asheville has a ton of businesses.

Her final argument was that Montreat is beautiful and the new campus would probably not be as beautiful (it is) and if that is the pitiful argument she has to resort to I'd say my chances at having her support to transfer are great.


Half price is the arguement that is going to win. But I am glad to hear.

:hug: That's encouraging news, Kannap! I figured that once she heard it was cheaper she'd go for it....mostly.


She called me back - after talking to my grandmother - seemingly completely flipped against the transfer now. So I'm fighting an uphill battle now.

Tell her it is much cheaper. Keep hitting that point. Also.... I think you may not have explained all aspects of your life to your mother and grandmother?

On the topic of college refusing tenure and professors leaving: "Don't listen to rumors and college can hire replacements"
- Professors have confirmed this is why they're leaving; What person - in their right mind - is going to pursue a job at an institution that refuses to give tenure?

On the topic of financial aid: "We have no idea what the financial aid is going to look like for this other college, we know what we're given here."

Indeed. Good thing he doesn't have thumbs. Alpaca road rage with weaponry would be a bad idea.

So they're willing to spend more money on you to go to a college you don't want to be at in the first place as opposed to the one you (now) want to go to that is cheaper...... logical.

Yes, me making a statement about finally having a good tool to deal with plant overgrowth is scary. I think it's scarier for someone to say they like potato salad. That shit is the spawn of satan.
