Would you live in the Midwest even for a million dollars?

I live in NYC all my life and I had a conversation with some friends about where would be the most undesirable place to live in the US. I can't fanthom living in the cornbread, hickville regions of the Midwest. So this question is really meant for all the civilized people who've lived in big to mid-sized cities. Would you willingly want to move to good ol' white bread and mayo, "I farm for a living" Mid West land?

Would you live in the Midwest even for a million dollars?

You are a NYC snob, much as I was myself. But then I got out, saw the world. Large cities, small towns, deserts, and little holes in the wall in the middle of nowhere. Makes you realize that there's a lot more out there than in any one place. And guess what, I've wound up in the middle of the mid-west (well, Ohio...) Not where I might have chosen or ever imagined during my years in NY or travels, but life takes you to some interesting places, and if you never open your mind, it doesn't matter how much of a "happening" place you THINK you live in....

Would you live in the Midwest even for a million dollars?

um...its not like that everywhere so heck yes i would for a million dollars

Would you live in the Midwest even for a million dollars?

Yes, I would move to the Midwest for a Million Bucks!!

Would you live in the Midwest even for a million dollars?

Of course, I've lived in the midwest my whole life! It's great. And the midwest is not just farmland.

Would you live in the Midwest even for a million dollars?

Civilization is over rated. I do farm for a living here in Iowa and I'm quite proud of it. I never eat any white bread or mayo but I do occasionally enjoy some cornbread :) I don't know what you eat that is so civilized but most likely it came from out here in "hickville" so you may want to take that into consideration before you consider this part of the country to be so worthless.

Would you live in the Midwest even for a million dollars?

Without a doubt yes. I would trade all the thumping radios and killings for nothing.Matter of fact now that you brought it up I may start looking for a place tonight.

Windows Live Installer will not install programs anymore!?

I had Windows Live Messenger and Mail installed, but I deleted them just by deleteing the folders in program files. Very bad move. But now when I download the Windows Live Installer, it says that the programs are already installed! I have tried Windows Live support about 1000 times and they keep giving me the same response, which is to delete "C:\Program Files\Windows Live" and "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\WLInstaller". These have not worked and I am driving myself mad trying to get it to install. Can anyone help??

Windows Live Installer will not install programs anymore!?

Have you looked in your Deleted Items folder to see if you can put them back, then remove them properly and then reinstall them?

Have you made backup points along so you can use the system restore to put everything back the way it was?

If no to both of the above, then you will probably have to remove all the pointers in the registry regarding both applications before you can reinstall them. This is rather dangerous and you may want to pay a technical person rather than try this yourself.

Windows Live Installer will not install programs anymore!?

You can use the Windows Install Clean Up utility or you can try cleaning the registry.

Windows Live Installer will not install programs anymore!?

See what you can do with these?!?

Live on campus or commute?

I live 15 minutes away from the college I'm going to this September and I heard from a friend that I should live on campus to have a "college experience". It's $10,000 a year for a room (not a big deal though I'm not allowed to have a car) or I could commute and save tons of money. What is this "college experience" and does that mean I'm not going to make as many friends as if I was to live on campus or have a better education?

Live on campus or commute?

it seems pretty dumb to live on campus if u live only 15 mins away..if money isnt a problem and ur willing to spend double the amount u would for tuition just to dorm then go for it but id say commute..having the "college experience" doesnt necessarily mean living on campus..just get involved with things on campus and u'll make plenty of friends

Live on campus or commute?

if yuou can afford it, definitely live on campus.

Live on campus or commute?

If you live 15 minutes from the campus, your commute won't be too big a deal. You won't spend that much on fuel or the parking permit required to park your car on campus. You'll definitely spend a LOT less than 10 grand a year.

You can still make plenty of new friends without having to live on campus. You'll run into people in class. You can participate in extracurricular activities. Student organizations often arrange special events, which are great for your social life. Oh, and you can always join study groups too.

If you live on campus, you'll probably end up with a roommate. In most cases, you don't get to pick the person (or people) with whom you have to live for 3.5-4 months at a time. It can be great for a sort of "instant social life" thing...but it can really stink if you prefer to meet people at your own pace. (I'm not much of a social person, so I loathed my year in the dorms.)

The actual education won't be affected one way or another. As long as you go to classes, study, et cetera, you'll be learning.

Live on campus or commute?

Okay, this experience is basically being on your own. Staying up late and hanging out without having your parents breathing down your neck.

You will have friends regardless if you stay on campus or if you dont.

The real determining factor is whether or not you are going to get a scholarship. If the school is paying for it and your parents or you wont have to go $10,000 into debt then I say go live on campus. If you are going to be in debt dont do it. Stay at home with the parents.

Alternate solution: Stay on campus for one semester or for a year and decide if its worth $10,000.

If you stay with your parents when you come out of school your peers will be in debt at a higher rate than you are. You will have some wiggle room. And, teh money that you earn more of it willbe yours and not the banks/government.

Live on campus or commute?

Live on campus! Ahh...sweet supervised freedom! Just take a tip from me, study first then party...lessons learned the hard way.

Live on campus or commute?

In either case, you will have a college experience since many students do live off campus, and often, whole neighborhoods are made up of students (think Isla Vista near UC Santa Barbara).

On the other hand, when you live on campus you have better access to social functions, special events, and study groups (those often occur right in your building and you can go in your pajamas)--no need to look for parking; no worries about the car breaking down or needing repairs; others in your building will likely join you; and because you live on campus, you'll likely become more familiar with the campus and find out what's going on much more easily.

In either case, use good sense and discipline in choosing who to hang out with and how to spend your leisure time: a lot of freshmen drop out not because they lack the academic skills needed to do well, but because "life" gets in the way. Be smart whatever you do, and yes, have some fun by opening yourself up to new experiences, too.

Live on campus or commute?

You will make a lot more friends if you live on campus. You will also learn to be more self-reliant.

If you are 15 minutes away -- then you can keep a car at home %26amp; have access to it when you really need to get away.

Live on campus or commute?

education is the same...do you have friends that will be on campus? did you already meet the girl of your dreams?

you can always meet friends in classor in group or frat or something. it is a shared experience that you should get a sample of. Hanging out at someone else's place you might get a feel for if you wish you were oncampus.

ask how many kids are commuting %% consider finding a roommate to live oncampus one semester or one year. Not having a car on campus, needing to have a friend that does have a car, needing to gather a group of people together so you wont feel stupid walking somewhere..... these are shared experiences that people have. Loving or hating the cafeteria food. during that i dont know anyone.......lost freshman phase... its one of the unique times that freshmen or transfer students instantly make new friends with strangers and somehow create a new support system of friends to last them the year (or all of college or friends that they keeep for life)

in a way living in a dorm is like buying friends... then again frats can be viewed that way too. it works for many people. A friend might give you an IN into these experiences and you still get to live at home... but no matter how crazy cramped or annoying it may seem... its fun when you throw 120 18-21yr olds in the same building with minimal suppervision. strange friendships arise and interesting people are thrown togetheer

Live on campus or commute?

This is a very unique time in your life and I recommend living on campus. When you think about it, how often do you get to live with people your age who share similar concerns, goals, and perspectives in life? Never again!!! Besides all the social events that you may miss out, you can discuss about politics, life, and some random subjects with your cohorts during the wee hours.

I think the best part is the lessons in "human life" because you will meet people from different backgrounds and upbringings. You will be free to engage in conversations that you may not engage with your family member. If you are going to attend "traditional university" where most of the students are housed on campus, I suggest you do the same thing. Otherwise, you may become the outsider, despite your distance from campus.

Live on campus or commute?

You will get the same education either way -- but you ensure a kind of social education if you live on campus.

If you have the money to do it, live on campus. You'll get over that "on campus experience" after your first year or two, so don't decide based solely on that.

But it is nice to live with all of your friends and be able to walk to class. *that* is sort of the college experience. studying with friends or watching your favorite shows together -- or, of course, parties with them.

And if you don't have a car, there's no way to commute... sooooo....

Should I live outside Chicago or in downtown after college?

I've been living in Chicago for about 3 years. I've spent most of the time stuck living in downtown by whitesox. I'm going to finish college in December and I don't know if I want to get an apartment outside downtown or if I should stay in downtown.

I hate living in the city,it's crowded and loud but my job is probably going to be there. I don't want to be stuck in traffic for hours to get to work and then pay 20$ parking. If i lived downtown then I probably wouldn't even buy a car.

Also, I think apartments are cheaper in the suburbs. I'm not making 1000+ dollar payments for an apartment when I could get a mortgage.

It would be good if I could get some input from people that live around here.

Winter sucks and I don't know what would be worse. Winter stuck in traffic for hours or having to walk around and take the train in the freezing coold.

Should I live outside Chicago or in downtown after college?

Sounds like you answered your own question. Also, a downtown unit will prove to be a very good investment. Buy don't rent...and great idea from you....If you do not need a car...don't buy one. You can always rent for the few times you might really want to go somwwhere You'll more than offset the cost of living downtown...Good Luck on your new job

Where to live if working in London (central)?

I've just been offered a really great job in central London - big problem is I really don't like living in London (lived there before for a year).

I know I could possibly live outside London and commute in. I don't mind the thought of this, I'd far rather live in a town somewhere or countryside. I was just wondering where I should start looking, other than just sticking a pin in a map of England!!

Where to live if working in London (central)?

Banbury a town north of oxford J11 M40, bukinghamshire, north surrey try a moving show thing like location location location

Where to live if working in London (central)?

Buckinghamshire is a nice place - Denham, Chalfont and out towards Oxford are all on the line straight into Marylebone xx

Where to live if working in London (central)?

Buy a used van and sleep in it until you run into a girl friend that can share her apartment with you for half the expenses.

Where to live if working in London (central)?

I used to live in the UK

the best place is Birmmingham

Where to live if working in London (central)?

Find out the nearest mainline station to your work, and decide from there. Try to avoid places where you have a long tube commute, because that's what wears you down. Look at straightforward British Rail commutes, and take it from there.

If you're at Liverpool Street, you'll be looking towards Essex. Bishop's Stortford is nice %26amp; so much cheaper than central London. Harlow is awful, Chav-central, but I live there and don't hate it. If you're at Waterloo, there's a lot of options. You may enjoy Wimbledon (I loved it there), Strawberry Hill, etc. Paddington, look West, towards places like Ivor.

Where to live if working in London (central)?

Could you specify exactly why you don't like living in London? Maybe some areas would be good for you (depending on your budget). Personally i hate commuting on BR trains but if you don't mind that..you could live in Sussex or something.

Where to live if working in London (central)?

Depends on how rich you are! Assuming you are not rich, might I suggest Dartford, Kent. I lived there for many years. It is only just outside London but is an historic Kentish market town with its own identity. It has two advantages. Firstly it is significantly cheaper than almost anywhere else that close to London - yet it has an extremely good train service. Minimum of 8 trains per hour every day to London Bridge, Waterloo and Charing Cross. Others to Cannon Street and Victoria. You can normally get a seat in the rush hour too.

I was always grateful I lived there rather than somewhere else in South East London. Nice countryside not far away also Bluewater shopping centre if you like that sort of thing. The channel tunnel rail link to central London (St Pancras) will open next year and there will be a station at Ebbsfleet, just down the road.

Where to live if working in London (central)?

try living in stevenage hertfordshire its has train station and a good bus service and its 36 miles away from london

Where to live if working in London (central)?

Aylesbury, Stoke Mandeville, Wendover, Amersham, Great Missenden, Chorleywood, and Harrow on the Hill all have trains that go to London Marylebone about twice an hour.

Good idea for college student to live in/flip a house?

I am going to be a sophomore in college next year and I am switching schools. I don't really want to live in an apartment, so I was wondering if it would be a good idea to buy a sort of rundown house with potential (my dad would be my investor), fix it up, and live in it for a few years. I could make a lot of the changes while I live in it.

I was thinking that doing it this way would be a way to add value to the home with upgrades while gaining equity. I could have roommates and their rent money could go towards the upgrades. Is this a good idea, or do flipping a home and living in it go together at all?

Good idea for college student to live in/flip a house?

NOPE unless u / dad has money to lose.

keep renting and study , not be a landlord.

Good idea for college student to live in/flip a house?

It may work, but keep in mind that you won't have much time to work on the house as a college student, especially a college student that is transferring.

Don't forget that you'll be a landlord, too. This means that you'll be spending a good amount of time fixing broken every day things and have even less time to make major changes to add to the value of the house.

It would also be tough to get a house near the unviersity so you could get people to live there. You'll also want to make sure that it's in a good neighborhood and that you set strict rules for your tenants.

Would your father be okay with waiting to make back the money he puts in? Or, more importantly, can he get the loans he needs during this sub-prime mess?

I think that fixing it up and renting out rooms sounds like a fantastic idea if you can make it work!

Good idea for college student to live in/flip a house?

how long are you planning to stay in school?

if you are going straight for a masters or in medical school or something else that is quite lengthy that doesn't sound like to bad of an idea.

but sure to look at the risk. the market (here at least) is a buyer's market. meaning for the people trying to sell houses it isn't looking to good. they aren't getting what they could have a few years ago and homes are taking longer to sell.

all of that could change by the time you are ready to graduate though.

hope this helps.
