[ezdays]

Good evening folks

It is finally over after almost 3 years. My daughter has found a college. She was accepted to New Jersey City University. Along with being accepted she was awarded the Presidential Scholarship. The scholarship is an academic scholarship and it provides full out of state tuition, room and board, and all fees for all 4 years provided she keeps her grades up. She spoke with the volleyball coach this evening and verbally committed. He is very happy. He has been aggressively pursuing her for the last few months. Paperwork is in the mail to the Admissions Office. Now all that is left is notifying the coaches of the other schools that were recruiting her. There are going to be some tough phone calls since there are some coaches and schools she likes.

Now maybe I can dust off the workbench and layout and get back to the trains. even my daughter says it is time.

That's great news Tom. With tuition, books, room and board being what it is today, that's got to be a load off your mind. In-state tuition at Arizona State is now over $9,000 a year (out-of-state is over $21,000 a year) and the estimate of living on or off campus is over $10,000. I don't want to date myself, but back when I was going there, tuition was less than $50 a semester and I was paying $35 a month for off-campus rent. Then again, the president of ASU and the football coach weren't making over million-dollar salaries. Boy, times have really changed.
