Minni-Mizing with the Mouse
About This Page:

One of the things I was able to do on my College Program was attend an 'Open Mouse' as the Wide World of Sports (I guess) transformed into ESPN. It was definitely an adventure. I honestly can't remember if I took the college program bus or if I rented a car. They had kind of a little self-guided walking tour -which was great for me because I had never really been there and I doubt I would have ever really had another occasion to go. They had a tent set up with health information too. There was...

The rule is that if you KEEP a car at the DCP, you must get a FL driver's license. This requires changing your permanent address to your apartment at the DCP.

I can’t really say the pullout map was laminated, but let’s say it is ‘glossy’ –no ripping or tearing here. The book itself is very sturdy and relatively small – all pages are glossy. It had lots of good information and pretty pictures. I think this is even where...

I had received my 2010 Passporter-by the time my daughter went back to college (University of Syracuse). I had anticipated being able to work on a great deal of my Distance Learning Accounting class, but the book had not arrived even after the due date of the first assignment ☹. This was not the first problem I had with the University bookstore. Happily, the bookstore is now under new management and all is well again. I ended up dropping the Accounting class. I may have been able to do...
