thanks for your help, i asked here because i wanted someone's opinion who wasnt trying to sell me some bull**** as to why i need to go there. large campus wont bother me one bit, the on ei was at before this community college the longest walk to class was 20 minutes to the one building in downtown akron. i know id need to stay on campus for at least the first year, so id be looking for a storage type of place for my car. walking isnt a problem, and i asked about the snow because i can wear flip-flops in up to 6 inches of snow before i have to put on shoes because my feet are cold. is UM-TC the main campus or would that be in the state capital? Thanks for your help by the way i really appreciate it.
