Thinking of Moving to Wyoming (Riverton, Cody: fit in, daycare, house)

[jkb826]

oh Wyo2008 you make me laugh. We get it already -- you don't like Wyoming. but do you really think that your ravings on here are going to be taken seriously. You must be really unhappy to go on the way you do. You have stated that you can't leave for awhile so why not try to make the best of a bad situation instead of wallowing in your sorrow. Besides that I think we are all getting a little tired of hearing it.

It also has the largest gap in income between males and females for the same work for all fifty states. There is no decent university or college here (the University of Wyoming and Wyoming Catholic College are both rated "Third Tier" by the U.S. News and World Report. They are the only two four-year institutions in the state.) Education is obviously not a priority. My town out here has about 20 skanky bars and not one bookstore. If you like getting plastered with other undesirables, you will think you have died and gone to heaven. Enjoy.

If you say they have 20 skanky bars, I take it you've been in every one of them to check them out? Wow. I've lived here in Sheridan for a lot of years and I've only been in 3.

4 year degrees? Laramie, Casper, Sheridan are just three. I know there's more. Have you went to any of them so you can analyze them properly or are you just guessing like everything else?

I've been to seven or eight of them and gave up. I was told the others were "skanky," hence I would hate to see them, considering the "upscale" ones I visited and the frightening clientele. In Casper, I know once can get a four year degree from the "Third Tier" University of Wyoming. There is no four year university in the state other than UW. Wyoming Catholic College is the only other institution in the state which offers four year degrees. I suppose Sheridan and other towns may have UW outreach programs and/or some University of Phoenix type fly by the light of the moon "Rent-A-Campus" in some strip mall/shopping center, but please enlighten me if I am mistaken about the University of Wyoming and Wyoming Catholic College, both third rate institutions, being the only four year institutions in the state.

I hardly think I have made an untrue statement.

Sheridan has a 4 year degree program. Sheridan college is a satelite of UW. Gillette was talking about starting a 4 year degree next fall.

I wish them well. Perhaps they can secede from UW and make history by giving the state at least a "Second Tier" institution... Maybe even a "First Tier" school.

Wyo2008, just shut up. You've posted virtually the same post about five times already, and no one has yet to take you seriously. You still haven't answered the question that I know is pressing everyone's mind, if you hate Wyoming so much, why why why do you have "Wyo" in your screen name? Oh, and about the whole "tier" thing, it's just a rating scale made up by U.S. News, a magazine. I plan to attend UW in the fall, and I have cousins that have gone there (one that teaches there), and they all have glowing reports about the school, its curriculum, and its faculty.

It's my screen name on another forum, so I just used it here too. I first used it (on the other forum) when I moved out here as naive as could be about the (inland) West in general and Wyoming in particular. I am curious as to what I may have posted which was incorrect.

You've posted pessimisted opinions on one not-so-nice area of the state. And like another person said, we get you don't like it here. QUIT COMPLAINING! Make the best of it. Get out and explore. Wyoming is a beautiful state. You obviously don't like the culture, but you can't deny its beauty.

I can deny Rawlins' "beauty"! LOL!

I agree that the Tetons are beautiful, and I complimented Riverton's little downtown and that nice (and clean) little restaurant about a block from the Old People's Apartment Building, which I also complimented.
