I'm starting to consider moving to Dallas to attend school. I've had a few of members of the Texas crowd try to get me to move down there in the last few months or so, but now I'm starting to think it's a good idea.
A bunch of you missed all the fun, but in a nutshell, I got divorced not too long ago and am back to trying to see what I want to be when I grow up. I think I want to go back to school for a Mech E degree and I have a "friend of a friend" who's a professor in Dallas (as is his wife). So, I'm starting to give this some thought. I'm guessing I'd be bringing the Camaro and the truck (need the truck to move and I can't afford to sell it, and the Camaro is paid for). Anything I need to know about considering a move to Dallas? |

I checked into UTD (The University of Texas at Dallas) and they are starting a brand spankin new Mechanical Engineering program in the Fall 2008 semester. BUT!.. They will only be offereing freshmen level classes for '08-'09 school year.. then sophomore classes '09-'10 school year... so on and so forth... SO, if you allready have your core curriculum, then you wouldn't be able to take ME courses at UTD until '10-'11 school year.
Thought that might be a good piece of information to have.. But don't forget... UTA (The University of Texas at Arlington) allready has a very well respected ME program. This post has been edited by prockbp: Jul 11 2008, 11:49 PM |
