Moving Feet-Not Sure How to Deal With It=Freaking Out [#permalink]   fourteen Aug 2007, 21:13

I decided to go to a school 700 plus miles away since I would not stop upwards with any debt. The other reason is I am not sure if I want to go for my PHD after MBA..I want to exercise marketing..and therefore definitely don't want whatever debt, especially debt that volition proceed to accumulate interest fifty-fifty while I am in school..hence I am going to a less prestigious program, merely well regarded in the publics..

I am merely freaking out now..never really been out of Pittsburgh where ALL of my friends and family are.I would be out there totally solitary...Not sure how well I am going to do or if I am going to make information technology..anyone have whatsoever tips?

You might be anxious now, but when you move it won't be a big bargain.

Information technology would be one thing if y'all were moving somewhere and had to detect a job when you lot got at that place. But showing up to an MBA plan you'll have a set schedule, you'll have an automatic social network, and you'll be likewise decorated with school work and events to contemplate your new situation and get all angsty about the alter.

Totally hold. I moved and left ndhlp in Ithaca and for the most part, I've barely noticed he'south gone. I've just got lots to do and savor.

When do classes start and when do you motility? Truly, it'southward the moving that's the more stressful piece. Once we found a place, moved into information technology, and got a decent amount of stuff unpacked, I actually felt ok. So do give yourself at to the lowest degree a few days to settle in. You lot don't want to be worried about meeting the cable guy while you're trying to schedule a team meeting.

Non certain if you are looking to rent or buy in your new boondocks, just here is how I went virtually finding an flat in downtown Seattle (currently 99% occupied).

Information technology took me a trivial less than a week to detect a serenity, comfortable and user-friendly apartment, within my student budget, but that was a week of fourteen-60 minutes days, and it was later the 10th of the month, which is when tenants normally give observe. I used Craig'southward list as the best online resource and checked information technology every two hours or so in order to stay on superlative of recent listings.

Another expert style to find apartments is to simply walk around the surface area with a notepad and jot down all the signs yous see. Some of these volition be companies which forgot to accept down the signs, but a number of these will be places which haven't advertised anywhere else considering they become sufficient foot traffic.

My search schedule went something like this:

7:00 wake up
seven:00 - 9:00 read Craig'due south list and put all interesting properties into a standard format and so that I could rate them; ate breakfast while categorizing
9:00 - 12:00 chosen about new listings, and followed upwards on erstwhile listings where my calls hadn't been returned
12:00 - i:00 lunch
13:00 - eight:00 appointments to view places; bank check craig's list if yous terminate anywhere which has wireless
viii:00 - 9:00 collection around and look for posted vacancies
10:00 - eleven:00 dinner
11:00 - midnight checked Craig's list once again and reorganized interesting properties into a standard format.

Once you think you've found a suitable apartment/house, don't forget to contact SLS (student legal services) for a free review of your lease before you sign information technology.

Good luck!

James,

Just my input, and nada more than: You lot need to end freaking out. Otherwise, don't go to bschool. Yous are setting yourself upwardly for failure. You seem to take this cocky fulfilling prophecy to fail.

Don't concentrate on what you'll be missing (home-cooking, friends, family), but focus on new things you lot will learn, new life-long relationships you will make, and getting to learn the ins and outs of a new metropolis.

Cut out the negativity at present or you are doomed to fail.

Judging past your join date you have been on the MBA rail for awhile...if y'all spring off now out of fear of missing friends and family then yous will probably regret it for the remainder of your life. Practice you want to surrender on a dream and give into your anxiety? If y'all quit before you even start then you lot might likewise never carp trying to exercise anything different again, stay at your job, alive in the aforementioned identify, and never attempt anything new. Think of information technology every bit an gamble and once you are done you can easily settle down wherever you desire. Its only 2 years. Y'all will have a phone and the net and so keeping in affect wont exist tough.

Yous aren't moving to another country and having to bargain with culture shock and being thousands of miles and several time zones away. Just recollect of how all our friends from India and Asia must feel nigh the prospects of beingness one-half a world abroad from their families.

Sorry I am less sympathic than some of the others. Its not like y'all are going to be deprived of contact of your family or annihilation. Many of the states take dealt with it earlier either during undergrad or in life after higher...you simply deal with it. Family is important but they will notwithstanding be there in two years and you volition brand new friends to hang out with at school.

Thanks for your responses..I have a ten hour drive ahead of me tomorrow..I spoke with the lady at admissions, and she said I can annals Friday..classes start Monday One reason I have been hesitant is I really wanted to become to Katz since information technology is so close to me and I know the area..plus it has half decent stats for finance..

Merely the kicker is my mother is mentally il..severe depression..she near lost her house a couple of times but I had to bail in and help her out financially. With Katz. although closer, it would demark me upward financially since if I had to leave the plan, I would have pregnant debt..and possibly no MBA grade job... She is the reason I put off going to school longer than I would have liked..So alas I have to drive somewhere pretty far just and so I tin exist free financially

James, its time to break out and leave the nest. If classes starting time Monday then you had improve become over to Columbia and get settled. Word to the wise: stay close to campus, just not as well close.

Assuming that you will exist in a fairly rural area, housing shouldn't exist a major event. Simply get settled ASAP so you can walk in with a articulate mind side by side week.

Retrieve, there are always winter, spring and (limited) summer breaks, non to mention a few extended weekends if you need to return dwelling for whatever reason. It'due south simply two years and yous take come this far, full ride and assistantship included. Trust me, information technology will never become any better than information technology is right now.

James, life is not perfect. You can either go to Katz & accept a loan or go to Columbia-MO and accept the scholarship. Decide which factor is more important to y'all, brand a determination and motility on.Pls stop being so negative, cos that'southward just setting yourself up for failure. I bet there are people with worse family scenarios. Brand a determination, be at peace with information technology and have fun. If any emergency comes up while you are in school, deal with it and so instead of fretting about things going wrong even when they haven't happened.

I am not sure if I tin can drive 7 more hours tomorrow..stay for a few hours..and and so drive another x hours dorsum IF I don't like the campus..since worst case scenario I would need to exist at work on Monday forenoon...if I don't evidence up..I volition get fired..then I volition actually be screwed:(

James, I hate to do this but I'm calling you out. I think this whole human action your putting on is a farse. Seriously, how in the world could somebody score a 700 on the GMAT, slave hours over applications, get a total ride scholarship plus a handsome assistantship, merely to bail out over a simple 700 mile drive?

Amazing.

I just walked away from a high salary (certain seems high now) and a very comfortable lifestyle, went immediately $40K+ in debt and flew 7000 miles to take a shot at a dream. Risky? Damn straight it is, yet anything worth having in this globe will involve hedging your bets; and if y'all can't wager on your own success, then I really take pity on your pathetic life.

Seriously, if you aren't going to go, then get back to your Pittburg job and end posting in our forum, because IMHO all you bring is negative energy to the table. I've never met, let alone known of such a wobbler like y'all. Similar I said earlier, I'k calling your bluff.

Well actually you are wrong. This is not a farse. I was hedging my bets that I would exist able to bulldoze further, get to campus, see how I liked it, and then if I liked it I would stay. I am non going to stay two years in a town I do not similar. I unfortunately, am not married so I don't have the luxury of taking a partner like yourself.

I also have had to bargain with some major family unit issues over the final vi months. My father had prostate cancer, and became disabled, at least in terms of work, since he also began to have seizures and could not drive anymore. Somehow the infection he got after his surgery caused an opening in his blood vessels in his brain and that acquired his seizues. I also have the issue with my mentally ill female parent and my concerns well-nigh her losing her firm and who knows where she will end up. Information technology's non like I am walking abroad from a perfectly happy home situation where I am not concerned virtually anyone. I take major concerns about both of my parents, and unfortunately, every bit an only child (besides bad they couldn't have made more babies) I am really the only one left to selection up the pieces. My parents are less than 60 years old, but I feel similar I have to worry nigh them more than than I have to worry about my 85 year quondam grandmother.
Plus I had my own health problems to worry nigh..I had difficulty swallowing brought on my acrid reflux..needless to say it was very difficult for me to eat for about iv months..talk well-nigh taking a life toll..I could non go out to eat with friends or take a date out..I would always feel similar food was getting stuck..and it was not a pretty site..the medication finally resolved that only inside the last three weeks.

And it was not the 700 mile drive that scared me. It was the fact I thought I was going to be able to go farther terminal dark than I was able to go. I was nearly 2 hours into the trip when my prison cell telephone battery went low..I looked for my machine charger. I could not find it. I had to terminate off in some downwards..and bulldoze to the walmart to get some other one...that took nigh an hr with traffic. It was really a non option. I was non going to be on an interstate belatedly at night with no advice. And then a little later..I got very tired..I fifty-fifty stopped off at a rest cease..took a few caffeine pills and done it downward with Mountain Dew...I was withal very drowsy afterwards so I decided to stay in a hotel here in Dayton Ohio. I am posting from a holiday in express. I was not in shape to drive. At that place were 18 wheelers on my barrel with cement barriers on both sides of me..if annihilation went wrong, I was going to be dust..the speed in that location was almost 70 MPH. I felt myself drifting off. I did effort to keep myself awake and so I could keep driving, just it wasn't happening.

I thought I would at least two/3 to 3/4 of the way there when I started out this morning, just due to the above situation, I only got to the 260 marker on my starting time night. I would take to drive until 4PM today STRAIGHT to brand it there..if I didn't similar the campus, I would have to start driving back immediately to make it to piece of work on Mon.

And also people remember I volition be able to go back habitation on a regular basis. I did the math on the finances, and machine expenses cannot be factored into financial aid..so i am not sure how much longer I would be able to keep my car..

I will admit to being a wobbler, simply for good reason. If I don't like the campus, and I need to apply side by side year, I demand to have a job and then i don't go through all of my savings over the next year.
I likewise think nearly anyone would be wobbling with the home situations that I have. Really, I would be farther from dwelling than I would be if I were in NYC or Boston..actually Columbia is that far from Pittsburgh.
Boston is just 588..nyc is 340..Columbia is over 700 miles..people don't realize how much longer it takes

I wished I didn't have the worries I have, but for me not to care would basically force me to shut down my censor. Being a very caring and loving person, that is not an choice. If I was the only person I had to worry near I would have been in school already. I am willing to bet on my ain success just the trouble is I have more than than myself to worry about. So before you phone call anyone pathetic, delight sympathize the entire story before you cast aspersions.

James, while I'm sympathetic, and your parents' and your own health problems are nix to sneeze at, I do find your fright of driving 700+ miles a scrap of an exaggeration. If you already drove 260 miles, the rest can be done in 4-v hours flat. If you left around ten am in the morning, getting good sleep, you'll become at that place at ii-3pm. Run into the campus during daylight hours, stay over in a hotel tonight, wake up around 8-9am on Sunday, and yous'll be dwelling before dark. I actually don't see why y'all're "worried" nigh not getting dorsum to work on Monday if you don't like the campus.

As for the remainder, it isn't my place to comment on what you should or shouldn't exercise, I merely detect the driving just to cheque out the campus part very foreign.

I know information technology's strange for me to drive 760 miles to check out the campus, but I was non even sure what was going on, if i was going to exist attending school, etc, earlier in the summer/late spring. I was not doing well mentally due to all of the things that were going on in my family. I became depressed, plus I had my own health situation to deal with..so needless to say, I was way behind schedule. I just finally started feeling amend at the first of this month and then that is why I was backside. In all sincerity, these past 4 months were the worst months of my life..I am not a huge fan of air travel, merely I could not have done air anyways since I had to have all of my stuff there ASAP.

Actually I did continue on..I figured what the hell..I got to Indianapolis when I noticed my auto making noises when I was stopping/slowing down/turning..Indy was the half way point...I would accept had another five.5 hours to become according to my GPS..I had already driven two hours... I stopped at a Pep Boys..they said I needed four new brakes, and I needed two front bicycle bearings..they I could have a mechical failure and crusade an accident so needless to say, I had to get my automobile fixed ASAPand that really did force me to turn around. I was completely exhausted from sitting in the waiting room there all day, and they did non finish upwardly my machine until shut to 8:30...and 1500 dollars later..I tried to get them to go it washed quicker, but there was nothing I could practise. At that place was no manner I could bulldoze some other 5.5 hours that nighttime. ..if I did make there, I would have had to go to bed correct awayand then tried to see the campus in the morning for an hour at the most, and if I did not like information technology..would have had to leave ASAP..At that place are.major traffic backups going eastbound. taking into account residue stops, eating, getting gas, etc, that would take meant at least fifteen-16 hours of ACTUAL Fourth dimension ON THE Route. That would be superhuman to say the least..not even professional truck drivers are that much fourth dimension driving in a 24 hour menses. They are only allowed to drive 14 in a 24 hour period..not that information technology makes that much of a deviation, but the trip was really 760 miles..not 700..add about some other hr two travel fourth dimension..going 70 miles an hr the unabridged time it would have taken me 11 hours...merely as I said..that was not including the traffic state of affairs with structure, speed traps, eating, peeing, gas, etc

The matter that makes me angry is my automobile was simply inspected in March..it passed inspection..I am not sure if the mechanic was smoking crack or something, but I only put another 2500 miles on the automobile since March..I find it hard to believe all of that stuff could have worn out without existence driven more than than some token miles, just that is what happened so I will simply have to get next year..

To anyone who says I should have connected on with bad wheel bearings, I was not in the mood to die. Wheel bearing failure tin cause a wheel to fall off..I did not want to flip over and get hitting by an 18 wheeler..or careen out of control

On the positive side, I visited OSU on my fashion back, and really liked the campus. I didn't realize it was that nice..I may use there next year..
