Traveling from Philly to New York and Im thinking about taking the Greyhound (cheaper) vs. Train. Is it safe? -

Greyhound would be my last choice.There are so many great travel options to get from Philly to NYC. Boltbus, Megabus, a Chinatown bus, or the NJ Transit-SEPTA train combo would all be better than Greyhound.

Greyhound is safe, but there are even cheaper safe bus optionsgotobus.com will provide with buses from Chinatown to Chinatownmegabus.com will provide buses from 30th st station vicinity to penn station vicinity, this is hte cheapest 5-15 one way

Loyala Chicago a difficult school to get into? -

What are the requirements?

it s not exactly a cake walk. After Northwestern and U Chicago, it s the 3rd toughest private city university to get in to(IIT is in the same ballpark if you are going the engineering route)the average high school gpa is about 3.5-3.6the 25-75 split on ACT scores in 24-29I got in with a 3.52 gpa and a 26 ACT score

Go to www.collegeboard.comType in Loyola in the search bar, and it ll give you a profile of the school. It will tell you the average GPA of students accepted.

If you go to the web site you will in all likelihood find a rather large and detailed sections concerning admissions.

The first requirement is to spell the university correctly.

Moving to san francisco question? -

do you need a professional job or some kind of college degree in order to have a comfortable living in san francisco?

The figures I ve seen said that in order to live in SF the minimum salary is $45,000 per year. You can do it for less if you share housing, do not own a car and don t splurge too often.Unemployment in SF is higher than the national average so if you don t have a job or are not a self employed professional now is not a good time to move here. Many of the jobs that are open to folks with college degrees are taken and employers are offering less money than previously for new hires.

You need lots of money to live comfortably in San Francisco. A low end studio apartment will cost you $1,000 per month. If you can get a job in the Central Valley, salaries will be lower but the cost of living more than offsets it and you can travel to the bay area on your days off.

Yes.Though it would really depend on your personal definition of comfortable and your intended lifestyle.

California has the second highest unemployment rate in the country. You ll be VERY lucky if you can find any kind of job.

you could always squat
