Thanks for the reply man and the encouragement. I moved out to Chicago to make use of my Illinois Veterans Grant. I served four years in the Marine Corps and that grant is a benefit that pays for the entire cost of college tuition. The only catch is that you can only use the grant in Illinois. So I had to make a choice. Enjoy the high life in SoCal or get a higher eduacation. I obviously chose the school route.

Yeah I am sure to meet some people when I start school, but I am a bit older than most students (27) so it may be hard to find people more along my age and interests.

Anyhow thanks again for the post.
