Oh neat! Congratulations! I stayed off of here this past semester, that’s why I missed that thread. My grades reflect this. 🙂

Where are you going? ☹

And I’d like to leave when I’m done with undergrad. I’m not all that impressed with the education I’m getting at UB, so staying here for grad school isn’t an option.

[/quote]

Sorry for the delay in the response Corey.

I will be moving to Rutland, Vermont next summer to attend Green Mountain College for 3 years to get a Bachelors in their Resort Management program @ Killington. Finally found something I want to do career-wise and it’s time to get serious about school. :tup:

After that? Who knows where to.

Edit- I will miss the WNY area though. The stuff I’ve grown up around, and gotten so used to. I won’t however miss the insanely crooked politics of the region. But for the few years, I’ll only be 6-7 hours away.

Williamsville

> **[Business First's 13th Annual List of Best School Districts in WNY is Realeased...](https://www.speakupwny.com/article_1117.shtml)**
>
> Buffalo NY forum to discuss local politics and topics including Cheektowaga, Lancaster, Depew, West Seneca, and Amherst New York. Buffalo News and topics are generated by local residents that want a better Western New York and lower taxes

The top 3 shift around from year to year, but even if Williamsville is the #3 school by the time my kid starts school, I’m still fine with that.

WNY does have some real good positives.

1. You can buy a lot of house for your money, even with the high property taxes.
2. Very light traffic, but still things to do. Stuff is spread out, so you need a car, but everything is about 20 minutes. I love my car, so this is a big plus for me. I’d never live in a city where it’s normal to not own a car.
3. Great schools if you live in the right area.
4. Extremely low crime if you live in the right area.
5. There are jobs here, but you have to work to make contacts, or be damn good on the interview.
6. Great place for boaters. I love my boat, and having the upper and lower niagara, erie, ontario, chautauqua and the finger lakes all within range is a huge plus for me.
7. I actually like seasons. I don’t complain when we get a mild winter, but with global warming that should be a normal thing right. 🙂

Thanks for the good word. I do love it in Vermont. I could definitely see myself starting a family with my girlfriend (VERY soon to be fiance) in Burlington after school.

The program is an awesome program. You can go so many directions after graduation as it gives you a very versatile degree. The other great thing is that your courses from December to March are basically being a paid employee of Killington with full benefits and attending one class a week.

I am incredibly excited about it all, and am going up there to visit for a week in June.

I’m here for the forseeable future. If I ever close this business or life forces me too I’m gonna peace the fuck out and go live in europe as a traveling bum and do odd jobs to get by seeing as I have already shouldered more responsibility and worked more than half you bastards ever will in this life time 😛

This thread is actually positive

Its good to move out of Buffalo early in your life to get a perspective of how the rest of the country lives.

I moved back to buffalo to be close to my friends and family. Met my future wife here, got a house, good job, things seem to be working out fine. My job outlook in this area was dismal after college graduation, but after a few breaks I was able to move back here with a decent career.

I’ve been away and I’m back, probably for awhile.

This poll fucking sucks.  
Who plans on staying somewhere till you die?  
When I retire I’m fucking traveling and going places and hopefully dieing in a most awesome fashion.

Will I be staying here for a while \>10 years?  
Likely.

1. Great place for boaters. I love my boat, and having the upper and lower niagara, erie, ontario, chautauqua and the finger lakes all within range is a huge plus for me.

:word: The father in law has one, and lives on the water on GI with his own dock. Walking across the street and hopping in for a cruise whenever we want is the greatest thing ever. My fiance doesn’t like the idea of me getting another motorcycle or a “toy” car, but fully supports getting a boat. :headbang: I actually have to reign _her_ in because boating is fucking expensive and we’re not quite there yet. We’d get one this summer if it were up to her. :tup:

Speaking of the water, show me another part of the country where you can get a nice house on the water in a nice area for under half a mil. Sometimes well under half a mil. If the GI school system was better I’d be heading up there in a few years.
