hello from florida - Cyburbia Forums

i am going to be a graduate of FSU in three weeks. i did the interdisciplinary social sciences undergrad program, my primary study (21 hours) is urban and regional planning, with a secondary concentration (12 hours) in economics. i became interested in urban planning after i began attending the university, and will be pursuing a path in economic development [preferably] in my next academic venture. however, another path i have recently become interested in pursuing is the planning involved in a high speed rail network president obama is pushing to create. i have discovered a newly found passion for a rail system that will not only connect walkable/multimodal cities (if we can ever get them right and built) to other cities in the region, but nationally as well.

i plan on attending graduate school in the urban planning program at CU-Denver. i am putting all my eggs in this basket, and will be moving to denver early in 2010. i chose february as the date to move west, as i will still have some issues to take care of in florida before my relocation. in moving to denver before being accepted into the grad program i hoping that i am a shoe in for the school, and i will have earned my year's residency so i will be able to pay in-state tuition.

i have not taken my GREs yet, i believe i will have a decent GPA upon graduation, and i still have at least 6-8 months before i begin applying to CU-denver along with some back-up schools.

i am nervous, prepared to wait, and ready to get out of florida. don't be too rough on me! hopefully i will have some insight to provide around the forums, and look forward to asking questions.

Wow, UC Denver has a nice new web layout and they changed the names of the concentrations in the program (again)

I wonder if JNA has seen this yet?

Not until you told me about it.

What a change from almost 20 years ago.
