You should go to a two year school and find a good school to transfer to after. Neither of those schools are a reach to get into, and you will save yourself a lot of money (either way) with getting prereqs out of the way and then transferring. Then you can have time to research the best school to transfer into (which tend to have even easier entrance requirements / scholarship opportunities)

I go to a lot of concerts, used to work some too.

You know the crowd you typically don't have a problem with? Metal fans. 10,000 "scary-looking" people that make that guy look mild for appearance, and nearly all of them will behave just fine.

Meanwhile, you have some show that gets the buttoned-up middle age suburbanite out like a contemporary/pop country act or classic rock acts, and it'll be a shitshow from before the doors even open. Police/security will barely be able to keep up with the number of people needing to be thrown out or arrested.


It's not anything to do with political correctness or "wokeness", it's simply that if that sort of appearance was ever much of an indication of average behavior, it certainly isn't these days. (this guy excepted, clearly).

Plymouth is honestly a lot more than the partying. Sure, it is definitely fun but- there is so much to do. Most of it is close by- that’s if you’re planning on having a car. So many mountains to hike if you like that, Meredith, North Conway, Lincoln… the list goes on really! Plus there’s a lot right in Plymouth for you to look into. The school is great too, it’s not hard to find a group of people and the staff is usually very supportive. I have heard the science courses are very competitive and can be hard as far as grading & teaching style. Aka prepare to teach yourself some stuff on the side & lots of exams.

Edit: should’ve added I graduated from there! 🙂

Party culture exists at every college. Some will be more than others, but it's all about what you want to do. Guarantee you if you don't want to partake you will find a group of likeminded folks at either school.

Not to stress you out OP but think about what you want to do with a biochem degree post undergrad and talk to profs about where their students go. Some schools treat programs more generally, others will be more focused on producing students that want to go do a masters/PhD, or some will have a really strong pipeline to different companies post grad. Consider what you think you want to do and use that to help guide you.

> The reason is that they want to treat it like booze, only for sale in state liquor stores.

The measure most likely to pass the house this year would allow private stores and tax it at the meals and rooms tax rate, so we would be able to buy it for less than in the neighboring states.

Of course, the trick is in getting it by the Senate and Governor.

My ex-boyfriend violated a restraining order, the judge says he has substance abuse issues and mental health issues, yet he violates a restraining order and they give him PR bail even though he is on probation at the time. Probation officer doesn’t care so he successfully complete probation even though he committed a whole new crime while he was on probation, he doesn’t show up for a restraining order Court, so he gets a bail jumping charge on top of the violation of restraining order. Then they arrest him like a year later, they give him PR bail again, they offer him a sweet plea deal where he only has to go to jail for like five days, which shouldn’t be a big deal he doesn’t have a job or a place to live so it’s not like he’s going to lose anything, he’ll actually get a warm bed and some food. But anyway he doesn’t show up for court, so he’s currently on the run from violating a restraining order in 2018 WHILE ON PROBATION that he has been arrested for twice.

You are repeating police propaganda, the police have been on a soft strike in NYC for years now and blame it on anyone who dares say that the police could possibly look into murdering less unarmed children. But it will magically go away now that they elected a mayor who is directly under the boot of the NYPD and the real estate developers.
