Which address should I use?

[lexipaige]

I'm starting college again on the 17th. I live in a dorm there. I have taken up contesting during the summer so I'm not really sure what address would be the best to use. My home address is 7 hours away from my school. I go home maybe once every two months. I know if I won something my parents would never take the time or money to send it to my school address. I'm really worried about getting a surprise win being sent to my house and it being too late by the time I get it. Also, who doesn't like getting wins in the mail! College breaks are just long and for the whole month of december I'll be home. I'm really kind of frustrated about what address I should use. Any advice?

Did you get the pm I sent or return to your ask thread? You MUST RTF to keep your thread from being locked - I had to lock it because you didn't follow the rules:

The vote rules

Vote for and post to the active asks in this forum {the members who do RTF will have a thumbs up} including your ask in your post.
Make sure you RTF at least as often as you ask others to vote for you, but you'll create more goodwill and won't risk having your thread locked if you try to RTF daily.


In a nutshell:

You MUST be a member for at least 2 weeks to ask. You may vote and give a heads up that you will have an ask when your 2 weeks have passed, but NO links allowed.

You've been a member more than 2 weeks?

Post only to active {unstickied} asks in this {Referral and Vote Requests} forum or risk a BAN.
You may also include your link in your signature if you are a PLUS member.
ONE thread per ask
NO posting your ask in other forums, via pm's, or posting to comments allowed.
RTF at least as often as you ask others to vote for you.

{RTF = Return The Favor}



Post your ask thread - include the name of the contest/sponsor, end date, how often we can vote, and a direct link. NO shortened links please. If you MUST post a shortened link? Include the links to the sponsor/contest.

So your title will look like this:

DATE: *{month}/{day}* VOTE FREQUENCY: 1x, 1x per IP, Daily, Daily {24 hr} etc. SPONSOR/CONTEST TITLE: {sponsor}.com/SA title, etc.

EXAMPLE: *5/31* (midnight) 1x like Nat Photo Month

I get that you are busy at school, but you are asking others to go out of their way and spend time voting for you, {8 already voted for you} so you need to RTF - then I can vote for you and reopen your thread! :wave:

I would definitiely go with the school address. If you get a surprise affidavit in the mail, and it's due back in 5 days, there is a good possibility you'll miss the deadline....unless of course you just tell your parents to open and read anything that comes for you, in which case they can fax/scan the stuff to you.
