Whats the difference between going to college in New York City and London?|187688

I want to go to college in one of those two places, and lived in the US my whole life.

So what_s the difference? (Besides the driving on the other side of the road)

Massive difference between UK and US college systems that are more important than which is the better city to hang out in for a while.

The biggest difference between UK and US college education is you specialise very early in the UK. There is no such thing as pre-med or pre-law in the UK, you go straight into medicine and you_re a doctor by the time you are 24. Study is a lot more demanding, a UK undergraduate degree is only three years, but it crams in the same amount of stuff a four year US degree does. UK universities rarely have an extensive pastoral support service, it is sink or swim. Students don_t pay the full amount for their fees, just a portion of them, universities are largely funded by the government. This wouldn_t apply to you, as a foreign student you would have to pay full fees.

if i lived in the US for all of my life and had the chance to study in London, i_d do it, if only to know that i could take the train to Paris (and from there to the rest of Continental Europe) in only 3 hours!

here_s an idea: go to college in London, and spend a summer term in NYC.

Well, the first difference might be transportation costs. And, of course, there are cultural differences. But the big factor is which country can offer you the best education in the area you plan to study.

Best of Luck to You!

How would I catch the light rail to sea-tac airport from the Greyhound Station in Seattle?|172790

Meaning where would I catch it by the Greyhound Station, which route would I have to take and would I need to transfer anywhere? Also, how much does it cost. There has got to be a cheaper way than taking a taxi?

You can catch the light rail below Westlake Center. The fare is $2.50 and the end of the line is now at the airport. It is about 6 blocks down Stewart to Westlake from the Greyhound Station. If you have luggage and would rather not walk the 4-6 blocks to Westlake the buses are free in the downtown area so just cross Stewart and hop on any bus. (Stewart is a one-way street, so you can_t catch one going the wrong way!) Ask the driver to let know where to get off for the closest stop to Westlake Center - I will only be one or 2 stops further down the street. You will then shorten your walk to about one block to get to Westlake. Go through the shopping center to the very bottom level to get to the light rail station.

Assuming you are talking about the Greyhound Station on Stewart, the closest light rail stop is in the bus tunnels under Westlake center (4th Ave _ Pine St). The entrance to the bus tunnels is very close to the entrance to Nordstrom on Pine. Here is a link to the schedules/maps:

It only costs a couple bucks and they just opened the final connection so it goes straight to SeaTac airport now.

The Greyhound station is about 6 blocks from Westlake Mall ...easy walk if you are not hauling a lot of stuff.
You have to buy ticket from machines in mezzanine of Westlake Bus tunnel.
$2.75 one way to airport. No transferring involved.
When I go down into bus tunnel....which is like everyday....I go to 3rd and Pine....tunnel entrance is right near the McDonalds. Still real close to Westlake mall....one short block.

$2.50.

Walk West (declining street numbers) on Stewart about four blocks. If you don_t see the Westlake Station, any native will gladly direct you.

Feliz navidad y SUERTE!!!!
Para el 2010

Un Abrazo!!!! y BUEN VIAJE!!!!!

SEAN BIENVENIDOS!!!!!

What is the weather in Seattle and what should i pack?|142585

I_ll be going to Seattle, WA this Sunday. I am from Denmark. I_ll be living with a host family in Kent, WA, and then go to school there. I wanna know what the weather is going to be like (Im used to a little winter with snow and average temperatures of around 20-40 degrees F). What should I pack? Other important things to know? Entertainment? Transportation?

lots of rain clothes... I mean a lot!!! I hope you love the rain as much as I do!
Its usually warmer here about 40-60 degrees... but wet :-)
Entertainment? ummm that_s a good question it depends what you like to do.... and where in Kent your at... downtown Kent has really grown and there are shops and a movie theater and restaurants down there...there is a ice skating rink close by... If your on the east hill of Kent and you like to swim there is a pool behind KM high school...
Oh if you like Thai food - Grandma Thai is really good :-) it doesn_t look like much on the outside but its great!
There is a lot to do in and around Kent it just depends on what you like to do!
Transportation.... also depends on where your at... the bus system pretty much goes every where in kent... and walking is always great... lol just don_t forget water proof clothes and an umbrella!

I think you_ll find the weather in Seattle to be similar to that in Denmark, though just a little bit warmer. Fall, winter and Spring are cool, sometimes cold enough to snow, with a lot of grey days and light rain.

We have not had snow yet this winter but it usually snows once or twice a year.

My suggestion is to pack clothes that you can wear in layers and shoes that can get wet. In general, this area tends to be less _trendy_ with clothing and styles and more casual and practical.

I hope you find your host family to be friendly and helpful, and hope you have a great experience here in the US!

Weather in the winter is grey and rainy, usually cool. Occasional cold and snow. The really cold weather is on the other side of the Cascades. Lots of great trails around, so a bike is a good way to get around.

Kent_s awesome. that_s where i am :) well you need a raincoat. a good one. umbrellas. ipod. there_s always a bus somewhere... maybe a light coat for under the rain coat. some jeans and sweats for at home. just comfy clothes. that_s all that i can really come up with.

at least 2 jackets, boots, jeans are ok but sweats are good for freezing days. as for transportation, get an ORCA card and take the bus to seattle lol

COLD pack warm clothes

How to get on the guestlist in Las Vegas?|156066

Hi me and my friend are going to Las Vegas, just wondering how you get on the guestlists for the clubs?
Thanks!

Go to this webpage and click on Free Club Passes. There they can get you on guest lists for free.

We just emailed the clubs like PURE, etc. Get a contact name, ask for their dress code, their hours, etc.

Don_t fall for those people (males or females) on the street that can get you in the clubs. Seems they have a quota of names and numbers they have to collect, but they really are quite useless.

contact these clubs in advance and blag your are or representing VIPs and give your names, clubs survive on a fickle reputation of so called in crowd patronising

Sorry I dont club

What are the in flight movies for November on Hawaiian Air?|127020

Their website only has the October movies posted. Leaving tomorrow and curious. First time my boyfriend will be flying to Hawaii and he wanted to know. Thanks!

That is very sloppy of them.

I would call them and complain:

Hawaiian Airlines Web Support Center:
Daily Hours: 3:00 AM - 9:30 PM HST
Toll-Free: 1-866-586-9419

For a nominal fee, you can rent a portable DVD entertainment center which will provide you with a variety of movie and game selections. Otherwise, if it is that important to you, just call and ask them. Have a safe trip, and maybe I will see you when you get here!
