College Program Questions Thread Pt 2

I'm sorry but I don't understand what time and half means. Is it like it you get you're regular pay an hour plus half of your regular pay?

I need that explained a little clearer too.

 

[GreatWideSomewhere]

I need that explained a little clearer too.

Time and a half means if for example you make $8/hr normally, you would make $8 + $4 during time and a half...so $12/hr

It's great.

Oh yeah, it is great!

So what are the apartments (dorms, whatever you'd call them) that you stay in like?? Are they nice? Being Disney, I can only assume they are.

Oh yeah. The apartments are really nice. I have stayed in both Chatham and Patterson, and liked both (Chatham more, though).

Oh good. My mom was freaking out wanting to know all about accomodations for the CP participants. Moms.....

My mom is the same way.

But yeah, the stuff they give CPs is great. The housing is pretty good, there is transportation available, and more.

So would you recommend leaving personal vehicles at home?

 

[Joanna71985]

Oh no!! If you can manage it, BRING A CAR!! It makes life soooo much easier. And you wouldn't always have to use it. But trust me, you will be so much happier with the car.

My mom says leave mine at home..... but I think I'd be better off bringing it, like you said.

 

[Joanna71985]

I mean, you can definitely survive without one (I have not had a car with me for any of my CPs). But it makes everything so much easier.

Yeah. I'll prolly just bring it if I get to go down there.

Sorry for all the questions.... I'm just trying to get everything straight.

It's no problem! That's why I'm here.

 

[Soarin08]

Ok. Lol. Thanks!

I actually have run out of stuff to ask! For now.....

 

[Joanna71985]

Well, you know where to go if you have more.

 

[Soarin08]

Actually.... thought of something!!

What about food?? Is there a Wal-Mart or something on/near property where you can get groceries?

There is a Walmart that the CP buses go to, and there is a Walgreens right next to Vista if you need something quick.

There is also a Publix near Chatham/Patterson. It's very convenient, though not my most favorite grocery store in the world.

See, this is the one thing I've been on the fence about. I can't really imagine leaving my little focus at home for so long, but I am thinking that I would really rather not spend the money on gas while I'm done there.

I don't know...I just figure that if I do bring it, I will always want to drive everywhere, but on the other hand, if I leave it at home, I can force myself to rely on the bus.

I am having a hard time choosing which is the best option.
