- The Putrid Smell of the Garden Parkway
The Garden Parkway has been a thorn in the sides of many Gaston County residents. Citizens have stated to city leaders that Parkway planners are living in the past, the data more than 6 years old. With more projects in utter need of repair, it seems a $1.25-billion expressway has been regarded by residents as a waste of tax payer money. Intended to be used as a industrial expressway shows the illusory tactic behind Garden Parkway's gentle name. Citizens are angrily protesting the Land/Road building and the use of bonds in order to finance the debacle. Taxpayer exploitation at its finest, so a few henchmen may rake in cash for cronies at the expense of Tom and Sue Taxpayer.

all of the schools i have on this list have programs that iam interested in. im considering either marketing or public relations, maybe both.
Answer:
What is it that you are hoping to major in? The reason I ask this is because many school are very strong in some areas, and coudl be very weak in others. Just selecting a school without considering what you want to study is a really poor way to go abotu choosing a school! Choose a school that has a great reputation in what you want to major in!

good variety of colleges? Question: these are 11 potential colleges im considering applying too. generally, is this a good variety of easier to get into schools, good schools and reach schools.
Northeastern University
University of North Carolina- Chapel Hill
Drexel University
Belmont University
Old Dominion University
University of Connecticut
University of North Carolina-Wilmington
University of Tennessee-Knoxville
University of Tennessee-Chattanooga
State University of NY- Cortland
State University of NY-Albany
yes i know some of these are much better than others. some are reach and some are safety
Answer:
Yes, however I would even consider trimming this list down in half. Remember you (or your parents) will have to play application fees for every school you apply to - plus you'll pay to send SAT/ACT scores to them. Additionally, many schools will have essays that you must complete as part of the application procedure. While you can "recycle" some of your essays, some you will not be able to.

Answer:
Hi Kelly,
You don't tell us what grade you are currently in in high school. Have you begun visiting these schools? You should schedule visits to them to acquaint yourself with their culture and requirements.
I would suggest that you work on your writing skills. You will need to submit essays upon which you will be judged for admission. I live in the Nashville area and love Belmont, and MTSU.
Your choice of college should be based on your chosen field of study, your comfort with the school and it's fit. You should be striving to attain the highest gpa and best scores on your SAT's and ACT's.
Best wishes on your college career,
memererita
