Every year, more than a thousand Californians venture over the Sierra Nevada mountains to make the University of Nevada, Reno their new home for w88 online sports betting. Not too long ago (age ain't nothing but a number), I was one of them and these are some things that stood out to me.
#1 WUE out-of-state tuition makes w88 online sports betting affordable
When I started thinking about colleges and universities, I thought there were three options: community w88 online sports betting, CSU or UC. And for this northern California kid, the real question was: Am I going to the beach or the bay?
But it turns out there are other universities outside California's borders, and some of them have some pretty incredible opportunities.
Once you leave California, impacted majors aren&w88 online sports betting;t really a thing so you can actually graduate in four years and some places have scholarships that can make it less expensive to attend compared to staying in-state! Not only because WUE out-of-state tuitionin some places is less than in-state tuition at a UC, but also because trying to find an affordable place to live gets easier pretty much as soon as you turn the car east.
#2 A real w88 online sports betting campus
Now I&w88 online sports betting;ll confess, I wasn&w88 online sports betting;t always sold on the idea of leaving California. 17-year-old me knew everything, and I knew I wasn&w88 online sports betting;t going to Reno. Remember, my decision was beach vs. bay and this town didn&w88 online sports betting;t really fit in those categories.
But when I set foot on campus I was floored. I don&w88 online sports betting;t know what I expected but I know I didn&w88 online sports betting;t expect a beautiful brick and ivy campus with 140 years of history and tradition. And I certainly didn&w88 online sports betting;t expect all of that right next to incredible state-of-the-art facilities like a brand new student union, library, math and science building, and more. For the first time, after many tours, I found a campus that felt like a real w88 online sports betting. Campus was alive, everybody was oozing with school pride, and I could already picture myself there.
#3 The weather
Did you know that Vans shoes are less than ideal for walking around in the snow? I didn&w88 online sports betting;t know that. So I&w88 online sports betting;m telling you now, come prepared with something that won&w88 online sports betting;t have you moon walking down the ramp in front of Nye Hall because your shoes can&w88 online sports betting;t handle a bit of snow and ice. These are the kinds of things you&w88 online sports betting;ll have to consider if you move away from California.
Elsewhere there are four full, distinct seasons instead of the two you&w88 online sports betting;re used to (rainy and not rainy). And in these four seasons you may have to contend with things like bitter cold nights, snowy commutes to class, and trying to get enough cell service on the Mt. Rose chair lift to submit your final paper before the due date. But all of these things make for a richer experience and a shorter commute on powder days.
#4 Nobody&w88 online sports betting;s from where they say they&w88 online sports betting;re from
In w88 online sports betting, I told everyone I’m from Sacramento. This is not true. I was born in Carmichael, raised in Antelope and went to high school in Roseville. And unless you’re from the greater Sacramento area, you probably have no idea where any of those places are. So it only took a few interactions with people from Hawaii, Alaska, or Oregon for me to realize that just saying “I’m from Sacramento” is a lot easier than trying to explain that there’s like 15 cities with no discernible borders in and around Sacramento County that all make up one big urban/suburban blob.
You&w88 online sports betting;ll find that lots of people revert to this shortcut after a semester or so because they&w88 online sports betting;re tired of explaining that Walnut Creek isn&w88 online sports betting;t actually in Oakland, but it&w88 online sports betting;s pretty close but it&w88 online sports betting;s totally different but we all have BART so we&w88 online sports betting;re all just from “the Bay.”
#5 Pack Pride
Hoodies, hats, t-shirts, license plates, bumper stickers, oh my. The Wolf Pack likes to let you know that the strength of the wolf is the Pack. We wear our pack pride on our literal and figurative sleeves, and if there&w88 online sports betting;s one thing I&w88 online sports betting;ve learned since graduation it&w88 online sports betting;s that the Pack is everywhere.
Of course we&w88 online sports betting;re scientists, business owners, teachers, engineers, lawyers, doctors, nurses, journalists, social workers and scholars. But we&w88 online sports betting;re also governors, senators, professional athletes, Pulitzer Prize winners and World-traveling biologist honored. Everywhere you look you&w88 online sports betting;ll see the Pack hard at work across the country, the globe, and the solar system.
That&w88 online sports betting;s right, the Pack is interplanetary. So come on over the hill and join us.
