If you went to college, there’s a good chance you’re among the more than 70 percent of graduates with student loans to repay.
While those loans allowed you to achieve educational goals, they could affect your ability to achieve another part of the American dream — buying a home.
From the Prince William police press release:
Thank you! That is the message from the staff of the Prince William County Police Department’s Animal Control Bureau and our partners in the 4th annual, nationwide “Clear the Shelters Day” event.

A back-to-school message from Dr. Steven Walts, Superintendent of Prince William County Public Schools:
We enthusiastically await the arrival of approximately 91,000 students on the first day of the 2018-19 school year. Our educators and support staff are prepared and passionate about ensuring each student learns, grows, and excels.
Patients and visitors to Sentara Northern Virginia Medical Center, as well as all Sentara Healthcare hospitals and outpatient facilities, are now able to receive timely text messages during critical safety events. A new opt-in emergency notification service dubbed SentarAlert allows anyone in Sentara facilities to receive the same texts Sentara employees receive through our emergency notification system (ENS).
SentarAlert allows patients and visitors to text a keyword unique to each Sentara facility or region to 333111 and immediately begin receiving critical safety messages. SentarAlert will begin the service with two critical safety notifications: Active Shooter and Evacuation. At 120 characters, notifications are brief and cryptic, like tweets, and designed to be augmented by overhead pages in hospitals and sites with public address systems.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year: back to school!
For those of you heading off to college, that means you need to take along some necessities for maintaining as much of your lifestyle as possible in a sparsely furnished room with cinder block walls, also known as a dorm.
