UNOH

After my whirl wind few days with my friends they left and it was time to focus on getting Hunter off to school. So we did his college shopping and helped pack the car. Ohio sounds like it’s close to Jersey, after all you just have to drive through Pennsylvania. From our house to UNOH was about 9 hours. We drove 7 the first day and spent the night in Mansfield. Then we got up bright and early to drive the last 2 hours.




Since Hunter was accepted to the University of Northwestern Ohio I’d been giving him a hard time about it being a fake school. He’s going for auto mechanics and they go to school for 6 weeks and have a 2 week break all year round. So my jests involved both those points. He joined in too. As we got closer it looked like he was getting nervous and he off handedly said that it would be funny if we got to UNOH and it wasn’t actually a school. But we got there and it was indeed a school. A really cool school at that. The campus isn’t huge but it’s big. Bigger then Kean. And everyone has old cars, the type that Hunter likes. Needless to say he’s in heaven being at school there.


His “dorm” is really nice too. Now I use dorm loosely it’s more like an 8 person apartment. There are 2 dorms in each building…


There’s a communal kitchen,



Apparently no one coordinated before hand on who was bringing what.
A huge living room they share…


Then there are 2 people to a bedroom. Hunter and his roommate decided to bunt their room and make it into a video game den. It’s pretty nifty looking if you ask me.


Plus he gets free tickets to the dirt track in town. He’s already started classes and is having a blast. So I’m happy he’s enjoying college from the start.


Cheers,
