How will I cope?

[deshawnjamison]

Very funny! Well I want to be an officer. I really do! What can I do to make that dream a reality?

if you are from Georgia you should have done the smart thing and gone to The Citadel, no snow in Charleston and its a real military school not another VATECH

I wanted to be farther away, because I'm not going to home for ever. I have to grow up sometime.

But at least Va Tech has a real football team...

+1 Nick!

Deshawn,

Yes, some of these responses are funny, but you need to understand why they responded the way they did, and I think it went up and over your cranium.

Cold in VT and coping to the climate is a matter of importance to you when you think about your future at Norwich? We are not in the 18th century, single pane windows and huddling around coal stoves for heat.

Yes, it is cold in VT, but shouldn't your question of how to COPE be more about the fact that academically you may behind the 8 ball and are going to attend an SMC where it is not like a traditional college with a ROTC program?

You will have less time to study than a traditional college and ROTC. How will you academically cope with the extra pressure of ROTC and Corps eating into your day?

I am not trying to dog you, but I think you have bigger issues than how much snow they get in Northfield VT. Honestly, if I was worried about anything regarding VT, it would be mud season! Snow is snow, but come mud season, trust me you have never seen in GA the size of mosquitoes they have in VT! April and May is not pretty! My folks owned a home outside of Manchester, I know!

Given the OP's demonstrated inability to utilize the English language in an intelligent manner, I think weather and insects fall far below "getting accepted" on his list of issues.

OK Pima, now you have gone and brought mosquitoes into the equation! Everyone knows the Lowcountry of South Carolina (where The Citadel is) has the biggest mosquitoes and the smallest (almost undetectable by the human eye) sand gnats. Trust me the sand gnats are far worse than the mosquitoes!!!!!

I would have thought those cold VT winters would killed most of the mosquitoes.

Thank you Scoutpilot.
