Swamp_bucks Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Looks like my daughter has finally narrowed down her school choices to four or 5. So we will be trying to tour as many as possible but first up is SUNY Oswego and University of Albany. Looking like end of march I can line them both up the same weekend for tours. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand University of Oswego is nice. Right on lake Ontario. Try the sub shop for lunch it's legit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 We've hit SUNY Cortland (bleh), University of Binghamton (nice) and will be on the road to SUNY Fredonia tomorrow. Good times. I hope she finds someplace she really likes Bucks. It has a lot to do with their success. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just hope she finds something she’s happy with and doesn’t settle for something. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Binghamton on Friday night, Syracuse Sat morning, then Hobart, then Ithaca and Cornell on the way home Saturday.My daughter is all done. Early decision to Muhlenberg around Lancaster, PA.

Nomad Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Never did the tour thing fortunately. Both ours were happy to go to UB. We had two rules, state school and a major you can actually get a job in , follow those rules I’ll pay for everything . One CPA ,one RN . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDNECK4LIFE32 Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 The summer b4 my junior year I attended Syracuse basketball camp put on by Jim bioheim. Personally met with couching staff. Bernie fine visited my family asked my family what my opportunity was. Nothing. Had multiple coaches offer to house me to give me the opportunity to but my family was to proud to except a hand me out. My dad a Korean war vet didn't make much and my mom a house cleaner watched me gave me the opportunity for 1300 to attend. Just to cut this short I returned home and realized I didn't have what it took to make it to make millions in NBA lol. I enlisted myself into the army. Best decision I ever made. Makes you grow up quick real life experience. We to to basic at 17 in Iraq at 18 month b4 turning 19 left at 20 after 14 months. Got 21 college credits while serving. Plus took a few classes. Got out and just couldn't go like everything I thought was right was wrong when I took classes back home what I did overseas was wrong. So I left and went out and found a job. Military is a good setup just pick the right mos i picked infantry lol. Wish all the kids there best at college but give the military a thought plus free college afterwards if you want to attend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck!So funny you mention the food. 14th in the country in thinks When we toured in the summer, the head of food came out to meet with us and after his chat asked people their favorite foods. After I told him venison Osso Bucca (to my daughter’s chagrin), he “kept me after class” and we spoke about butchering and game foods. Hoping their food plan gets my daughter to eat more than pasta and pizza! She’s a waste of a too good school!!!!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moho81 Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 One thing I regret is not looking at schools outside of Buffalo. I was paying my own way with no scholarships so I went to community college first to knock out some courses on the cheap then off to UB. I hated the program at UB and 80% of my community college credits didn’t transfer. I got a lot of bad advise from the high school and college. I’m still super bitter about it and it’s been 17 years since I graduated college. My “rule” for the kids will be you don’t have to attend college but you do have to pick a career not just a job and if you do choose college it has to be a degree with a job that PAYS and don’t be afraid to look out of town/state.

But back then didn't make those decisions. Sent from my motorola edge 5G UW (2021) using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
