Open Question: University of Texas Austin Architecture?

I am a junior in high school and am looking into the University of Texas Austin for architecture. I have about 150+ volunteer hours, and will be volunteering for at least 60 more this summer. I have been on three missions trips to the Dominican Republic, where I worked in building a school and having a vacation bible school for the children (we told stories, sang songs, and did crafts-all in spanish) I have a 4.0 weighted GPA I am in the top 20% as of February, but it may change due to courses next year. I volunteer at least once a week, and even more in the summer. I work about three times a week, or about 13 hours. I went on a People to People trip to Europe for three weeks I will be volunteering at a hospital this summer and Habitat for Humanity I am trying to get into a volunteering position at a school for the deaf This year, I am taking Honors Chemistry, AP US History, AP English Literature & Composition, Honors Precalculus, and Spanish 5.

I have not yet taken the SATs, but I take them next weekend. Do you think I have a good chance of getting into University of Texas Austin? If not, why and what can I do to improve my chances? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! more

Open Question: How and when to go backpacking through Europe?

Currently I'm 23 and a few years ago I traveled on vacation to Germany, Switzerland, Lichstenstein, Austria, and Italy. I fell in love with Europe and eventually I would like to live there! I have been thinking about backpacking around Europe, but my question is when do people usually do this in their life? I'm 23, already graduated college, and looking for a job. It seems like there is no time left in my life to go backpacking through Europe. I feel like some people go backpacking during their summer vacations from college, but personally I was not mature enough or ready to do it at that point in my life. Another problem I have is nobody to go with. I wouldn't feel comfortable going backpacking through Europe by myself. Are there any websites or anything to meet other people looking to backpack through Europe? I'll take any advice I can get about backpacking through Europe. Thanks! more

Open Question: If my dad books the vacation apartment will my friends and I be allowed to stay?

So, my sister, a friend and I are planning on going to London for a week in the summer vacation. We don't want to eat out every night and would love to stay in an apartement with kitchen. The problem is...we're all under age. 14, 16, 17. In Europe you are usually allowed to stay in hostels at this age without a parent/guardian 18 years or older but if my dad called the owners/ hosts/ and so on, would there be a chance of us being able to stay there alone? We're very mature for our age but I could understand why the owners wouldn't agree to it... more

Open Question: European vacation costs?

Okay, so I have always wanted to visit Europe. And as my high school days slowly come to an end, I figure what would be a better time than the summer before college?? So I am inquiring about what the approximate cost it of a 2-3 week "all around Europe" trip would be? Passport, tickets, food, hotels, transportation, everything. more

Open Question: Where's a good place for a single male to go on vacation?

Hello, I'm a 30 year old male from NY. I really want to go on vacation this summer (August) and am trying to figure out where to go. I'm single, and have never took a vacation on my own. Usually did this with a girlfriend. I was thinking Arizona just because I always wanted to go there and see all the landscapes and such but I wasn't sure if being alone that would get old fast. I'm on somewhat of a budget, meaning Europe, Australia, Etc would probably be out of the question. My budget would be up to $2,000 for the trip (airfare, hotel) and some extra money for spending. I've never even eaten at a food establishment by myself so the whole traveling alone kinda weirds me out. Alas though I'm single, and for many different reasons friends wont be able to go. I'm dead set on leaving NY and getting out there to see the world, either foreign or domestic. I suppose my main concern is if I'm just going to end up somewhere that's flooded with couples and I'm that weird guy that's sitting there by myself (X's 7 days). Not looking for singles cruises, or hook up things. Just somewhere to go by my lonesome and have an enjoyable time. Warm is good, hate the cold and the only other thing is that I would like to stay away from is the " big city" scene, I live in NY, I can get that experience everyday. Well thank you for your help Yahoo question answerers. You're help and opinions are greatly appreciated! more

Voting Question: Work related, employer laws?

I was hired about a year ago for a temp job of Receptionist at a private landscape company. There was a current receptionist but she would be filling in for the person who was leaving to Europe for the summer. In the end, I was offered to stick around for the Spring but nothing permanent yet. At the start of the year, they finally offered me a permanent position but they just didnt know which? They said they would look for sometype of job for me to do in the 90 days until my review. A week later the receptionist was fired and I wasn't really asked but more just "pushed" into the receptionist position again. Now it's time for my review (which is weeks overdue) and I feel like I was cheated out of vacation time, I just found out I will only be getting 2 sick days even though I've been there a year altogether (in June). Is there any reason for my employer to rehire me?? more

Voting Question: Vacation ideas? Mix between Europe and Caribbean?

My family is looking at going on a vacation this summer; does anybody know of a place that is a mix between Europe and the Caribbean?

If anyone has heard of or been to a place that is a mix between the two please let me know!!! Thanks! more

Resolved Question: What is The Best Way To Ask An Employer For A Two Week Vacation?

I travel to Europe every summer for two weeks, and would like to go again this summer. I've been working at my new job since October (6 months), and have not earned enough vacation days to cover a two week vacation period. Regardless, I would like to ask my boss for the two week's time anyhow and hope I don't get fired in the process. How should I go about asking for this time off? more

Resolved Question: should i study abroad?

I am a junior in high school. For the past 5 summers I spent my summers in Europe with family. I am going back this summer. I know going to Europe for back from the vacation is not the same as going to college but I think it might be a good oppurtonity for me. I've always been interested in world affairs and want to ne an international new correspondent for CNN international or BBC. I live in California and when I come Europe over the summer I can't really talk about my experiences because most of them never left the state. After I graduate high school I'm going to community college weather I study abroad or not. Though some of my concerns at when I make friends in the university I have to leave them when I graduate . Or what I'm most concerned is if I meet the perfect girl but shed from another part of the world. I want to find my future wife in college. Have any of you had experiences studying abroad. How where the people. In Americas their not to exciting and ignorant of the rest of the world. And what are some English universities in Europe or elsewhere more

Resolved Question: Can you tell me about Witsun?

Whitsun (also Whitsunday, Whit Sunday or Whit) is the name used in the UK for the Christian festival of Pentecost, the seventh Sunday after Easter, which commemorates the descent of the Holy Spirit upon Christ's disciples (Acts of the Apostles chapter 2). In England it took on some characteristics of Beltane, which originated from the pagan celebration of Summer's Day, the beginning of the Summer half-year, in Europe.[1] Whitsuntide, the week following Whitsunday, was one of three vacation weeks for the medieval villein;[2] on most manors he was free from service on the lord's demesne this week, which marked a pause in the agricultural year.[3] IS THIS FOR THE ROMAN CATHOLICS? PENTECOST IS NOT WHITSUN more

Resolved Question: Where to go on a beach vacation?

I've saved some money and want to go on a beach vacation during the winter here(Europe). I was thinking about Miami but I would really like somewhere where its not too damp. I was also thinking about Dubai but the laws there are a bit strict and awkward... What I want from the place is all year summer with temp. of around 30°C, nice beaches and green areas but with as less humidity as possible... Do you have any suggestions? more

Resolved Question: Which vacation, Dubai or Europe?

I am planning a trip this summer. I have 2 options: 1. a 12 night mediterranean cruise departing from Barcelona to France, Italy, Croatia and Montenegro onboard the Celebrity Solstice. We love cruising and have never been to Italy, Croatia, or Montenegro. 2. Spending 9 days in Dubai, at the Atlantis The Palm. We have always wanted to go to Dubai, but we have to get a visitors visa, etc, etc. Which Should we choose? more

Resolved Question: How do you explain to a con without a passport, how DRAMATICALLY better life is in Scandinavia,Northern Europe?

My father was born in Oslo, my Mom in Copenhagen. They were kids during the war and wanted OUT of Europe. But we always traveled back for Christmas and Midsummer Vacation. I spent my teen summer vacations in Norway with my cousins. Northern Europe is simply DRAMATICALLY better than America in every way, shape, and form. Less crime, better schools, better health care, not as many disgustingly FAT people, the police aren't all paramilitary,(Cops in Norway don't carry guns, and spend most of their time helping people, not hassling them like American cops) In Norway for example, there is no such thing as private property regarding camping or hiking. You have the right as a Norwegian to walk or hike or camp ANYWHERE, there are no private beaches or forests. Norway, in particular, has all this money from the North Sea Oil, and all the hospitals are new, the roads have no potholes, the schools are big and beautiful. People don't hate each other in Norway, like they do in America. You should see school lunch in Norway. It's free for everyone. A delivery drops off catered hot food in a large foil container and drinks in an insulated cooler. The teacher passes out plates, and serves food to all the children and the teacher and students eat together and talk together. They call their teacher by his first name in High School, because there are no discipline problems, and the students don't take advantage. Being a teacher myself, I see that Scandinavia is light years ahead of America. Their society works.JaneInfant mortality, lifespan, obesity rates, crime rates and literacy rates are matters of FACT not personal preference.Chevy PirateYeah yeah yeah, you have a friend, or a cousin or a this or a that. You make it up as you go along.Boo RadleyI have burglar bars on my ghetto house in Los Angeles and sleep with a gun under my pillow. Where is MY liberty? more

Resolved Question: How much would a month long vacation to Ireland, France, and Italy cost?

My boyfriend and I are looking into a month or so long trip to Europe. We want to stay for 7-9 days in each country. We plan to fly from CA to Naples, Italy. From Italy we'd travel by train and ferry. We'd start in Naples then go to Rome, then onto nice, France to Paris and finally to Ireland. We want to visit Pompeii, the Louvre, etc. We want to travel during summer 2013. We won't mind overnight train rides or staying hostels. more

Resolved Question: What should my family vacation be this summer?

We were thinking either going to a beach in Mexico or somewhere in Europe and that'd be more expensive but different.. We were talking about if we go to Europe it should be either UK, Spain, France, or The Netherlands. If none of those places my mom had an idea to just stay in america but that seems boring to me. I know America has a lot but i really wanna get out of this continent. I have before but not to somewhere like PARIS!! London or Paris are my 2 favorite. But then again theres beautiful Japan ^.^. So many places!!! Where should we go?! We wrote these choices down: England, France, Spain, Mexico, Holland, and California. I say France, in the moood more

Resolved Question: My whole life people have been saying that socialism doesn't work and that it will fail, and the whole time?

Resolved Question: where should i go to for vacation?

Next summer my mom is two cousin's are planning a trip to go somewhere. We can't decide yet but I really want to go to Europe. They wanna go to Australia. I don't really wanna go to Australia because I looked some stuff up about Australia and there's nothing there I really wanna see that much. I think they just wanna go there to hear their accents... I really wanna go to Greece. (MY DREAM) We all agreed we don't wanna go to the UK, Canada, or Asia. I think the main top ones we want to see are: France, Greece, Italy, Rome, Ireland and Norway. I might hold the trip to Greece because I am going to move there to work when I am 19-20 (I'm 16 now) and I want that to be by myself. Because I love Greece so much, you have no idea. But like I asked can you name any good places to go on vacation? Be specific? Why and is it nice there through June-August? Somewhere out of the U.S. please, because I've been to all the east coast states (literally) and we are moving to the west coast next year Thank you! xand two cousins** more

Resolved Question: Questions about going out of the country?

there are 2 parts to this question. 1. all my friends are going/have been on vacation to amazing places....like costa rica, austrialia, france, paris, and switzerland. (thats only some of them). i've never been nor am i going out of the country anytime soon. so my first question is, what can i do to feel better? all my friends are talking nonstop about their trips, posting pictures of their trips, etc, and obviously i'm jealous but not only that but i feel like i'm failing and not exploring the world at all. and is it bad to be jealous? of course i'm happy for them but my one friend seriously wont shut up about going to paris this summer. 2. is Europe more fun as a kid/teenager or as an adult? because my mom said "i'll get a chance to go cool places as an adult when i get my own paychecks" but the thing is, am i missing out on "kid experiences" when i dont go anywhere when im young? i feel like it would probably be more "enjoyable" as an adult, but definitely not as fun and adventurous as if i were to go as a 14 year old. i'm really upset, all my friends are living "the LIFE" and i'm just being boring old me.... more

Voting Question: How to ask my parents if I can do an international exchange program in the summer?

I am interested in doing a summer exchange program for the summer of 2013 (next summer). I really would like to go to Australia for 4 weeks. However, I don't know how to ask my parents about this. They are going away on a 2 week vacation to europe this summer without me, so I don't see why it would be wrong for me to kind of go on a vacation without them... Right? Anyways, when and how would I bring up the question? Applications have to be sent in by the February before (so February 2013). more

Resolved Question: In need your opinion. Do you think my life will change alot?

So i live in california but this summer im moving. I really want to have new experiences like party and get a boyfriend and first kiss and actually get guys to notice me( im 15 and i have never been in a relationship or even close but many people even strnagers sometimes say im pretty and cute and that i look like a model and that i appear older than i really am). I am a pretty friendly person and i get told that im nice and likeable (not trying to sound conceited) but at first i am kind of shy and quiet around people i don't know and i have a hard time appraoching people so how can i stop that and gain more confidence? So basically here are my plans: im going on vacation to my home country which is in eastern europe me my dad possibly my cousin and uncle my bestfriend and maybe some of my dads friends are going basically spending time and camping along the black sea and touring the coast. I will also see my friends relatives and hopefully make some new friends. After that i am moving to Dubai. I really really need a change and do you think this is the change i have been waiting for or are you going to say something like "time will tell"? Has anyone had a similar experience and if so how did it go? more

Resolved Question: I want to travel but I have no one to go with, and I'm too young to travel alone?

I am 16, and my parents are going away to europe this summer without me. I really want to travel, and since they want to go alone, I have no one to travel with because they spent all their travelling funds on that Europe vacation. I'm too young to go anywhere alone, and none of my friends have the funds to go with me... The frustrating part is, I don't think my parents would let me travel without them. Yet, they are going on a vacation they want to be alone on. So basically they don't want me to travel with them, and they don't want me to travel without them. What can I do about this? more

Resolved Question: Where should I go for vacation during summer break?

My family and I always go on vacation during summer break, and my siblings and I take turns deciding where to go. This year it is my turn and I'm not really sure, I'm thinking someplace that is more peaceful, less loud and crowded, if that helps... My family is rich so money isn't a problem at all.

Resolved Question: Cheapest n with least stops from Europe to Singapore?

I will be going to Singapore this year during the summer for vacation. I'm living in Belgium at the moment. I just turned 16 and I will be traveling alone as well, therefore I'd prefer flights with least stops also in which hopefully I wouldn't have to wait too long to catch my next flight. My budget is around €900. I've checked online many times, but none really seemed comforting. So I'm wondering from where in Europe can I get a direct flight to Singapore? If anyone's got an idea.

Resolved Question: Family help, any advice would be greatly appreciated!? ?

My parents are recently from eastern Europe and we usually go there every summer, me and my mom were planning on going but things changed now and she can't take off work... So.... She wants to send me and my dad :/ ok i know I'm supposed to be happy going with my dad but it's not what it seems he's a totally different person when he goes there, he's honestly not the kind of person i want to go on a vacation with, but then again i really want to go.. But if you knew my dad you'd know that he's not the person that he comes off to be... Let's just say he's not really a father figure, yes i understand he's my father but if i go with him he will not let me do anything AT ALL or go anywhere. What can i do? more

Voting Question: Help! Should I keep talking/chatting with him or is it a bad idea?

Ok so long story short i signed up for advice website where u can chat with people answer questions etc. I live in the U.S. but im from a small country in Europe and on the site completely by accident i started talking to this guy thats from the same country as me and we might meet this summer since we will both be vacationing near the same place. Anyway he is funny, he is very handsome (we exchanged facebooks and we're gonna video chat) he seems really nice and apparently he is kind of shy around girls but from what i know he has female friends and loves to party and have fun. The only thing that bothers me is that he is 19 and has never ever had a girlfriend and i think he is still a virgin. He says that all of the girls at his university seem to dislike him for no apparent reason yet seem to have a crush on him ( he stated that in a question on the website way before we started talking so i know that he isn't lying). He says he really wants one but girls never seem to flirt back with him. What do you think is the reason for this? And if you were me would u meet him in real life ( i am younger than he is by a couple of years but in my country thats not really rare and i have alot of freedom there so i guess i could meet him if i wanted to)? Also yes he really likes me and says im cute funny and if we were neighbosr he'd never leave my house in a joking manner :P I really like him but this is kind of a big turn off from me but i mean im the same way though but im a girl and im younger than he is so i expect a guy to have more experience than me. And also i would never ever do anything sexual im a good girl :D more

Resolved Question: Least Expensive Car Rental in Europe?

We're planning a family vacation to Europe this summer to visit friends and family and want to rent a car to drive from Italy to Germany via Austria. All of the online rental companies want to charge ~$1200 for 2-3 days and ~$2400 for 20 days. I'm guessing the exhorbitant price is due to the fact that we'll be picking up the car in one country and dropping it off in another.

I am 18 and I wanted to do this before college but I didn't have time. I will have just finished my first year of college before I go. I want to know how to start planning a vacation like this. I have never traveled before. I need a passport and everything. If you have ever gone to Europe I would like to know how it went. I would like to go alone. Would that be okay? I just want to experience this before I get married or get a career. I am hoping that this experience will help me some way in life. Another question I have is: Can I use a credit card to pay for all of this? more

Resolved Question: Need opinion on taking time off before heading to University????!?

Ok, so a little about me, I live in Canada and the secondary school system is very similar to the states anyhow, i graduated highschool in June of 2011 and I was ready to go to University but just was nott ready because of mental issues ( depression and anxiety ). In Canada, a student is allowed to return for a fifth year to either retake classes, improve grades, take new ones, whatever; does not matter. Now i thought that taking a full year off would not be very wise for me as i would surely lose too much motivation to return to school. so I went back to highschool first semester and did extraordinarily well, and got into really good schools ( Queens, Waterloo, and Western). however, now its second semester and I feel sad not being in a school system for right now.. I am currently working and have goals planned out ( travelling Europe and working, volunteering). but I am currently contemplating whether i have made the right choice. If you knew me, you would understand that I love school. I take that the feeling of uneasiness and discomfort i have right now of being out of school is a good indicator that i will sill remain motivated to go to University. Because I have always dreamed to go to University. Should I continue with my goals and travel Europe like i planned and work and volunteer? or just finish off the second semester even though I already go into the schools I want to possibly go to? Secondly, this is more of a personal one. With respect to my love for learning, I also struggle a lot with myself. I am depressed, have generalized anxiety disorder, and i really just want to form a confident sense of self before going off to university, because high school sucked for me. I feel that travelling, volunteering, going to my regular sessions with my psychiatrist with all the time off will benefit me greatly. Would finding a strong sense of identity be more important than constantly staying in school to avoid losing motivation? I personally feel that I am conducive to do well in University even though I am taking time off. I am afraid of losing information or having my "brain drained" over these oncoming months, but School has always been my way of escaping my pain and mental anguish so i dont think I will not go to university. Also, I also bought some good books to keep learning such as Physics and Economics books to continue learning outside of school so that My brain is not just going to deflate. Is taking time off then really a good idea? i have been in school since I was 3 and so i think, regardless of the summer vacation, i really think this is my time to build my inner self, instead of always having been focused on academics. So, am I doing the right thing?? more

Resolved Question: Couple of questions about Europe: when to go and how much money I'll need?

I'm from Canada and I'm planning to do a big vacation to Europe next year, after I graduate from university! I plan to stay there for about 4 months, and I'll mainly visit countries in Western and Central Europe (still iffy about Eastern Europe). Just have a couple of questions: 1) Is it better to go in the summer or fall? I can go either season, but I do know of some advantages for both. If I go in the summer, generally better weather and longer hours in daylight (personal favourite for me). If I go in the fall, I heard less crowds and no lineups for tourist attractions. On the bonus side for fall, I usually work for a company in the summer, and going to Europe in the fall can allow me to make extra money for the trip. 2) How much money will I need for Europe if I'm staying for 4 months? I don't plan on splurging like crazy, I'll stay in hostels for the most part, but I'll go to fancy restaurants and stay in a famous hotel every now and then. I haven't done much planning yet for my Eurotrip since it is still a year away. But knowing how much money I'll need, as well as the best time to go, is good to know now. Thanks in advance!Zafir: Oh right, I forgot about the Schengen Zone and how you can only stay there for 3 months. Is it possible to leave the Schengen Zone, go to the U.K. or any non-Schengen Zone countries, and then re-enter? more

Resolved Question: Vacationing for people on a budget?

Hello! My mom and I are planning on taking a vacation. Our whole family are big travellers. We don't spend lots of money on items but instead on travelling. My mom and dad got divorced about 5 years ago and I live with my mom. Our vacation would be just be and mom. Last summer we went to Hawaii and this Spring 2-9 we are going back to Hawaii. Part of our family is going to Europe this summer and offered us a room in their condo, but with airfare and all the expenses it is too much. My mom and I like to take cruises alot and we are both pretty set on going somewhere out of the country (US) We have been to mexico about 5 times and don't want to go again (same with canada) Does anybody have any suggestions for a more wallet friendly vacation out of the US? Thanks! more
