Im moving near a commuter school in chicago near wrigleyfield called Northeastern Illinois U anyone heard??
is this a good move or should I have gone to Northern Illinois University? (which is a actual univeristy)? NIU is 51-49% female to male and Northeastern is 60% female and 40% male... did I make the right choice??? or is a commuter school with alot of chicks not a big deal???

Northeastern's supposed to be a good school.....on Bryn Mawr...... It's about 10 blocks from my house........

I think your focus should be on the academics not how many females/males attending the school. That being said, your definition of "good" really depends on what major you are looking to major in and if the school has good faculty members that can provide a good education in the field that you are majoring in.

I currently go to Northeastern. It's a pretty good school...classes are easy (whether you think that's a good thing or not is up to you), the most of the professors are cool, the area's nice, public transportation there is pretty good (plenty of parking too) Oh and by the way...the girl/boy thing doesn't matter on paper....it all comes down to the classes you take as to who you'll see. my advanced science classes--not many girls at all...like 3 my electives---50/50 my education classes--mostly girls...very few guys What's wrong with a commuter school with a lot of girls though, i'm curious....

Neither Greyhound nor Amtrak serve Jacksonville, IL. The closest bus and train stations are in Springfield There are 6 or 7 trains (depending on the day) leaving Union Station for Springfield. Fares are $18.00, $23.00, $24.00, and $33.00 each way....3 1/2 hr ride. Fill in specifics below: http://tickets.amtrak.com/itd/amtrak/FareFinder?_tripType=OneWay&_origin=chicago&_depmonthyear=2009-02&_depday=03&_dephourmin=&_destination=jacksonville%2C+il&_retmonthyear=&_retday=&_rethourmin=&_adults=1&_children=0&_infants=0&_searchBy=schedule&x=24&y=10 Greyhound has 3 buses to Springfield with a fare of $41.00 or $48.00...3 or 4 hr ride: http://www.greyhound.com/home/ticketcenter/en/step1.asp It's then about 42 miles west to Jacksonville. That means a limo. I presume the Jacksonville company will be cheaper. Either way they will have to make a round trip both times and probably charge you for it. there is no website but you can call to find out the cost and to make arrangements for pick-up. There are 2 Limousine companies in Jacksonville but they have the same address and phone number...so much for competition: Executive Limousine...and Classical Limousine 406 S Main St Jacksonville, IL 62650 (217 523-5466‎ Don't forget the CTA or METRA fare to and from Union Station or the Greyhound depot. See routes and fares below: http://tripsweb.rtachicago.com/ * I would include a meal on both legs of the round trip for 4 of you....$7.00-$10.00 x 2 x 4 = $56.00-$80.00.

Public transportation to Jacksonville is almost non-existent! You can get to Springfield easily, but the last 30 to 40 miles or so to Jacksonville is the problem. Frankly, driving might be your best choice. By the way, Jacksonville is really a very nice place!

Chicago, Illinois: To which of the following high school should I go? Jones, Payton, or Curie IB?

Chicago, Illinois: To which of the following high school should I go? Jones, Payton, or Curie IB?
You see, I am going to be in the 8th Grade next year and will be selecting my high school. I am very concerned with my high school choice and finally came around three choices after researching for two years. 1. Jones College Prep 2. Payton College Prep 3. Curie IB Jones and Payton are both excellent selective enrollment schools, but getting into an IB Program is superior. Jones and Payton both have a small student body, and I like that because I came from J. Ward where there are around 450 students. I know that most of my friends would be at Curie (regular classes). Payton is pretty techy. Also, I want to go to a school where they do not push too hard on the academics. No P.E. (Gym, not Driver's Ed. or Health) is preferred. I have not taken the entrance test yet, so I am not pretty sure if I could get in. The points I know for sure is that I have gotten: 99 in ISAT Math: 150 points 99 in ISAT Reading: 150 An 'A' in all four core sub.s: 75 X 4 = 300 1 day absent and 7 days tardy (awkward...) (I do not know if tardies count.): 98 (w/o tardies)/91 (w/ tardies) Total (without 300 for entrance exam): 698/691 So, where do you think I should go? Also, tell me anything about the schools. Is high school scary? Thank you! By the way, I did not get accepted to /applied for any of the high schools yet. If you have any q's, just ask.

If you don't want to go to a tough school academically, I hope you like flipping burgers. You're right, IB is superior. However, likely as not even Curie's non-IB students are held to a higher academic standard. Being with friends is nice, but not the way to choose a school. At least for my school IB students weren't required to take PE courses because we wouldn't have room in our schedules for them; you can check the requirements yourself for Curie. If you'd like to make something of yourself in the future, I recommend doing IB, if for no other reason than to learn discipline and time management, which are invaluable skills for college as well as life in general. High school is not nearly as scary nor as exciting as depicted in popular culture, you have nothing to fear. Or look forward to, unless you're the kind of person who genuinely enjoys being at school. And based on your preference for a school "where they do not push too hard on the academics," you're probably not.

That's a hard question to answer in the abstract, but simply, yes. It is well respected in the Chicago area, and is particularly strong in some post-grad areas (medicine, dentistry). It is reasonably priced, close to the city, and has many strong professors.


2
UIC is considered a good, solid school. It is particularly reknown in health care. The school also has solid engineering and business programs. It is not a liberal arts school.


3
For? Yes, it is a good school, and definately one of the best within the city limits of Chicago. If you are going for Medicine or Life Sciences, then it is a great school. However, like most schools, it does depend on the major - you may find that there are better programs at a local private school that may be worth the extra tuition (say, Northwestern). If you are still undecided, then UIC is probably with the price of instate tuition vs. private college for a couple of years of "finding yourself."

UIC. I spent 4 years there ('03-'07) and it was a quality program. Although the program had some bugs when i entered, by the time i graduated i wished i could have started a few years later than i did. I got a good balance of technical knowledge and design knowledge. They've made some improvements to the curriculum, according to colleagues i know that are still in graduate school there. There are also a large number of great professors there, many who have worked or do work in the field in Chicago. However, IIT does have the option of doing the 5-year professional degree (or at least they did a few years back) which UIC does not. Hope that helps, check out the link below


2
There are pros and cons to both programs. Of course I am partial to IIT because I graduate there, but that was a long time ago when UIC was at risk of losing their accreditation from NAAB. It comes down to whether you want to do a BArch- 5 years or MArch 4+2 years program. Keep in mind IIT is a private school and their tuition is higher than UIC. Or if you want to have your cake and eat it too, get your BS in Architecture from UIC and finish your 2 year MArch from IIT or even Champaign Urbana. If you decide to follow the MArch path, do not go to the same school from your undergraduate degree. It does not make a lick of sense to endure another two years of education from the same faculty members as your four year degree.

You have the mistaken idea that Kyusho-Jitsu is a style, or school of martial arts. It is part of the higgher level training in any traditional style of karate. It is not something that you can just teach as a stand alone art. To make it work, you must have developed a high level of martial arts skills as well as knowledge of the human body. It is not a magic bullet. It does not work well on about 30% of the population. There are very few instructors that teach the real Kyusho and Tuite. Of those that do they rarely if ever teach it to those that don't train with them. I began training in 1967. The word Kyusho was something I never heard or read about until the 1980's. It was not known by most high level martial artists until about that time. Many of the high level Asians were not taught the techniques themselves. Seiyu Oyata began to talk about it and teach it in the 1970's. The word spread. Like most other things many people now claim to have learned it. Many of these guys are con artist. Some are teaching techniques that are not correct. Bottom line is that you can't find a school that teaches just Kyusho-Jitsu and Tuite-Jitsu. It is just not done that way. TO CLARIFY ..... Most people incorrectly use the term Kyusho or Kyusho-Jitsu. That is only half of what they are referring to. Kyusho-Jitsu is Vital point striking. Tuite-Jitsu is the grappling techniques that also use pressure points.
