Open Question: I need help planning a vacation over the holidays from Akron, OH.?

I am planning on taking a trip from either the 26th, or 27th of December to either January 1st, 2nd, or 3rd. Does anyone know of any places that are reasonably priced. I would like to keep it below $1,000 for two. Some of my thoughts was to go to Orlando (possibly steer) since gas is cheap and the cost of flights around the holidays are high. I am also considering going to nashville, tn and then driving to asheville, NC to look Biltmore Estates. Another option is an every inclusive 3 or 4 day trip to Cancun. What are your thoughts? Are there any other places you would recommend?

Open Question: What do I need to do to be a photojournalist?

I'm currently going to the University of Akron for Public Relations with a minor in Photography. I wasn't sure what I wanted to do for a long time, but I've decided that I want to be a photojournalist for something like National Geographic, or maybe a travel magazine. I met up with an academic adviser and he said that I don't need a photojournalism degree to do photojournalism, but I'm nice of wondering if he just said that because the school I'm going to doesn't offer Photojournalism. I know the job I want is probably really difficult to receive but I really want to go for it.. So I'm just not sure what to do at this point school-wise.

Open Question: University of Akron Admissions and Student Life?

I've heard that U of Akron is an open admission school, what does this really mean? Also, after talking to someone who goes there I was told that it is a commuter school but they are making changes to the school and there is a lot of construction to make it more appealing for a full-time student. I graduate in 2010 and am looking at a lot of colleges, and it'd be nice to know a bit more about Akron and the student life, along with changes that are being made to the school.

My boyfriend is currently stationed in Iraq. He told me he will be able to make morale calls so he can call me once a week. He would like the DSN number closest to me and my cell is an Akron Ohio number. Would anybody know what DSN number is available for Akron Ohio? Thank you very much for your replies! He uses other ways to contact me via satellite phone, email, skype, AIM, you have it. But when he goes to the Army base once a week (because he's a Marine) he wants to call me that way. He can't just call my cell phone at will. I understand that they are mostly only on bases, i've looked it up, but I am seeing if there is a reserves unit in my area or another avenue to take.

Open Question: Is a 3.2-3.3 GPA with 1300 SAT score Good? (INTERNATIONAL)?

Hi i am an international but in American high school for every four years. I'm worried i will not receive admission into some Ohio colleges because of my low sat score. I don't think i can retake it again because of the deadline coming soon. So do you think i can receive in with what i have right now? Also are international students required more to achieve in academics than American students to receive admission? Some colleges i am trying to apply are these: 1. University of Cincinnati 2. Cleveland State University 3. Ohio State University 4. Wright State University 5. Ohio University 6. University of Akron Think i can just receive admission into some of these colleges as an international undergraduate with my academics? I also have taken 7 honors classes and am currently taking 1 AP Class but very few Curricular and Community Service. Thank you
