Hey, guys. Just need an advice about choosing a university.

Well, I am accepted by University X and University Y with the same course. The problem comes in when I cannot decide where I should go. Let me bring some facts about the two universities.

University X is nearer to my hometown and it takes three hours to get there. It is located in a city. The lecture theatres and department buildings are scattered in different campuses. The weather is fine, mostly hot. I would be living in a hall of residence of the university. It is fully catered and the costs include the food, internet, electricity bills, maintenance of the place, etc. It is a convenient place to live. However, the accommodation is quite far to the city campus, where my classes would be at. The buses are expensive, well, for me. I think it is $1.90 for a student. So basically, in a day, I would spend $3.80. Anyway, talking about the education here, there is a great cut off of students for the course I am taking. University X is well known to be strict but the education is outstanding. Very.

University Y is much farther from my hometown. You need to ride a plane to get there and man, the tickets are expensive. I probably can only go home when my course ends. The accommodation that I would be living there is near the university. It is fully catered, as well. You only need to walk about five minutes to go there. The lecture theatres are all in the university. The place is in the southern part so the weather is cold. Always cold. University Y is not in a city so the way of living is rather simple. There is a "party" culture going on there. This university is well known for the course, I am taking. There is less cut off for students. It is the best, people say. The tuition fees and accommodation costs are more expensive.

Choosing universties makes me stress. I cannot be bothered thinking about it for a long time since my semester one is starting on late February. I need to decide soon so I hope you can drop off an advice.

Hmm. Here are some facts about my situation:

1. I have no sense of directions. Maps are not my friends.
2. I got $2000 scholarship for 3 years from University X + $2000 for 4 years (from somewhere).
3. I got $5000 scholarship for just one year from University Y + $2000 for 4 years (from somewhere).
4. Current/ Older students of the course said that University Y has a higher success rate that University X but I thought this depends. This might not accurate but with the cut off, it might be. Still depends, though.
5. I have been to University X twice but never in University Y.
6. My hometown has the same lifestyle as in University Y. I don't live in city.
7. Most of my friends would be going to University Y. In University X, not really.
8. The town (groceries, church, etc.) in University X is further than University Y.

Please help me!

Same here, except the fact that, as far as I am concerned, watching an anime is rarely effective in order to stop procrastinating, it's quite the contrary. xD
Actually, Nodame Cantabile is the only anime that helped me sometimes to work my instrument or my solfege.
Personally, I used to take a little walk before working on some difficult things. It helps me because it gives me a feeling of clearing the mind of all thought.

I think it's a game, definitely not anime

I collect a lot of pictures, however I'm not sure the best way to store the ones I want to use at a moments notice on an image hosting site, like reaction gifs or something. ATM, Im just using Imgur, but it's messy and there's an image limit.

How should I go about doing this? I'm pretty sure there's a better way than the way I'm doing it atm.

Any good tips I should follow that will allow me and my friend to have an enjoyable time?

I have really bad anxiety. This will be my second time going to a convention. The first time, I got really bored really quickly and I also went with a friend. My friend got bored actually which made me bored. I'm quite shy too and so I didn't speak to anyone but my friend.

That time though, one week prior to the event my friend rang up and said that i won't be able to go down with her and that i'd need to find my own way. That gave me an anxiety attack. I got so depressed I didn't want to go anymore...

After that past experience I am scared that the friend Ii am going with will do the same as she has had a history of last minute change of plans too. She won't be cosplaying so that's making me worry about boredom hitting her than to me. I will be cosplaying however, all the days. I also plan to socialize but I'm scared.

Any good tips I should follow that will allow me and my friend to have an enjoyable time? e.g: how to socialize and make friends with other cosplayers, how not to get bored, what happens when my friend changes plan, etc. Anything else that would be a huge help? Help me please! ~x

Need help deciding whether to buy lots of cheap chocolate, or a few pricy-er chocolates of "meh" quality (still cheap).

The choice: Kinder Bueno—Insanely tasty hazelnut creme filled crunchy chocolate block thingies of low mass and unsatisfying smallness. 30 bars

King Sized Hershey's Toffee Symphony—Solid blocks of smooth (if debatably nasty by Europeans) chocolate loaded with crunchy bits of toffee but of a sad low count. 12 bars

Both are $20. Make the choice. Erabe!

why not just half of both? :3

MellowJello said:
Cause you gotta order in bulk via Amazon.

text27 said:
well that isn't fun why don't you go for the cheaper ones then.

MellowJello said:
Cause I'm waiting for more opinions...

I only see Kinder Bueno for $36 on Amazon, and that it seems to be wafers rather than whole chocolate. Despite the "low count", the 12 4.3-ounce Hershey's bars got more weight than the 30 43 gram Buenos. If you split the 12 pieces into 30, they weigh 46.75 grams each.
