• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Did YOU get accepted into college?

Have a wonderful time!

BTW, we start the University term on Michaelmas (29th September). Do the U.S. start in Spring?

Also, is the U.S. system arranged as such:
Michaelmas
Lent
Easter
Each with a substantial break between.

Em...not quite sure what you're referring to, but the date you gave is different from most college term dates. In my understanding, fall semester usually starts in late August or early September. Btw, why are the terms in Wales set up that way?

A word of advice: Go to class!!! No matter how stupid the prof or the class itself might be, go. Congrats on getting accepted. =D
Congrats to the OP. Very good advice there. I was accepted into the first college, and then I transfered and was accepted at my 1st choice both times. Hope you have a great time in college in a godly way.

I got accepted to the 3 schools I applied to. I didn't want to apply to any; but my highschool counsler made me apply to at least one state school. I applied to Northern Illinois my senior year of highschool and got in.

I went to community college instead. 3 years later I applied to University of Illinois at Chicago (state school) and Depaul (private Catholic school) I got into both.

I go to Depaul now. Probably one of the stupidest financial decisisoins I've EVER made...but I'm lovin' it! :)

Hey, that's great! I was thinking about doing the same thing, although there are some great state schools like Georgia Tech.
