QCMIA17 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Yeah, Amy might have to help us with that, since there are not that many accepted students on this forum.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QCMIA17 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Hey Guys, as far as safety, and crime rates go, I've read some pretty scary stuff about Dayton area. Do you think its wise living outside the Dayton city limits like oakwood, Kettering, or beavercreek, and commuting to Dayton for school. I just want your opinion, knowing you are from Ohio.

Justcan86 Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Did you guys receive the Email for our official acceptance? @QCMIA17 Dayton isn't awful if you are in a good pocket, but I would personally commute. You can get nice places in the suburbs surrounding Dayton at better prices if you are willing to drive 15 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QCMIA17 Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Yes I did receive that email. Where in particular would you call a good/bad pocket, and which suburb do you prefer as far as close proximity to school. I hear downtown Dayton is bad is that true?

Justcan86 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Actually Downtown is one of the better areas...I would avoid the west side(edgemont) entirely and the northside(riverside). The following are all suburbs of dayton that are twenty minutes or less commute time and are worth considering. None are dangerous in terms of violent crime, some may have issues with vandalism/theft in certain pockets of the city, but I mention them below. Oregon district is nice lots of happenings in the area..no idea what price is though Oakwood is nice, but is a very affluent area so rent may be significantly more than surrounding areas. If you go south... Kettering has some really nice areas and some really sketchy areas, but not overly dangerous. You would just need to do your due diligence. Miamisburg (around the mall area) has lots of commercial apartment complexes that are safe, reasonably priced, but will involve lots of mall traffic during certain hours. Centerville is a very nice area. Pretty affluent as well, safe, may be higer priced. Springboard is a nice area. Really booming with new development. East of campus... Beavercreek/Fairborn is a college/military area so tons of options, but is a little further from campus. The entire area is safe, some of Fairborn is a little run down, but safe. bellbrook- pretty nice area, most of it is further from campus but some of it is within 20 minutes. If you go north... Huber heights (northeast of campus) is dirt cheap, has some areas you will want to avoid, but not dangerous. Very blue collar area. Vandalia is a nice area and wouldn't be a bad drive. Englewood isn't bad either. It's a big heroine hub from the west side of dayton, but I would have no problem walking around at night in Englewood, it's mostly the southwest area I'd be more concerned with. The part butting up against trotwood. I have lived in miamisburg, huber heights, vandalia, and beavercreek/Fairborn. I have worked in Centerville, downtown Dayton, Englewood, and kettering. So if you are looking in those areas I can provide a little more detailed insight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QCMIA17 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 @justcan86, thanks a lot. That was much help. I was considering oakwood, or Kettering. I'll check out the other places you mentioned. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QCMIA17 Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Anything new after last email about oficial admissions and deposits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justcan86 Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Nope. I was thinking about E-mailing Amy just to see if they sent them out yet. It will have been two weeks tomorrow since they said we would be receiving something regarding deposit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QCMIA17 Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Contacted her yesterday. She said they just mailed them that day. So maybe by the end of the week we should get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KPA17 Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 I am looking to start or join a Facebook group to meet people but you need more than one person to make it. If anyone is interested in making one with me send me a message on here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohioheat9 Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Has anyone else had trouble logging into the site to confirm? It won't let me log it! I emailed Amy but its driving me crazy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KPA17 Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 We have made the group "University of Dayton PA Class of 2017" so if you have been admitted please join! Also, I had some trouble too but eventually got in to send the deposit. I'm not sure if I have done everything else I need to do though because it is a little difficult to navigate once you are in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justcan86 Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I was able to sign in as well. The system has been a little weird though. This past Friday I was able to log in and access E-mail, etc. Now I can't do anything accept look at my application checklist. Not certain if they are related or not.

QCMIA17 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Hi guys, can you post a link to the FB page. I only see the class of 2016 on there. I belive Amy is one of the administrator on that page. @ohioheat9, i hope you were able to figure it out. the only problem i had was interchanging my birth month with birthday, and not typing in the first three letters of birth month, just because im not use to dating like that, but that was just a mind thing, i quickly figured it out.
