holy ****!!!!! that is awesome. Well let me tell you this, you defintly don't need a car. I got one because i'm living off campus and by the time snowboard season rolls around, i'm going upto 5 days a week. Also, the days i dont go, i let people use the car. I'm getting my dad's ford taurus wagon so we can fit alot of people. There is another guy around the corner that has an alpine board so i'm gonna try to teach him a little bit. A bunch of people from here go to the local mountain here.
Oh also, the house we got is being rebuilt right now. Nothing but parties and snowboarding. There are 5 of us in the house and 4 of snowboard.
Albany is good but boston is so much more fun. I know people that transfered from albany. Tons of other colleges to party with and plus on wednesdays, there is a ski bus that leaves from BU to the mtn for $15 including everything for night skiing. I got a good 24 days this season which is pretty good considering i had class everyday and work on sundays.
The professors are really good for the most part and the labs are all brand new. If you don't want to get stuck in the city, you wont. Feel free to IM me on AIM. My screen name is theglob86. I'll be happy to answer all your questions.
Lastly, nothing is off topic in the off topic thread.
