Universities usually limit the number of hours you can acquire this way. For most, I think that 30 is the max total you can get by testing (AP or CLEP).
I definitely would have done it the way of taking college classes in high school, then doing 2 years at a community college and finishing the last two years at a university. That would have saved me a lot of money and time. I was a in' idiot and am now paying the price for my stupidity and ignorance. Lesson learned.
No Sherlock. What do you have if you don't work?
There were literally no resources available in Victoria at the time for me to find out about taking them.
Yup. I'm thinking about going to SLU, and they won't take my English comp CLEP.
Ok Sherlock, how does someone afford college on minimum wage, without taking a ton of loans? Oh that's right, they can't.
I never said that. If you also work, you don't have to borrow as much.
Less debt... Get it or not?
Jesus.
Why do you people see what you want instead of what I type?
Ok, reread the backscroll and saw that I was the one who misread it. My bad WC. I agree with you on the idea that kids should work a side job if they can do so without screwing up their grades.
Because you had too many Clep credits? Or the English dept is a bunch of snobs?
Do you think the cost for college is a direct reflection on the fact they know there are guaranteed college loans which kids will get?
The latter. If it was the former, I'd rather take an elective than the English class.
Oh, I'm sure that plays a part. That said, I'm glad there are guaranteed college loans available, assuming that they're only handing them out to students who are likely to get a job afterwards that can pay them off. (Ie stem, lawyer, doctor, etc etc)
Yeah I have to agree but I'm pretty sure they are blanket loans for college. Regardless of degree. One great way to pay off other debts is to get a low apr college loan to consolidate your debt to one. Parents with kids in college should take advantage of that.
St. Mary's is really pro military. They pretty much would use all your military training as electives. And they transfer just about everything for you.The latter. If it was the former, I'd rather take an elective than the English class.
Incarnate Word is pretty good too for military. Both have great selection of web courses.
I try to go to actual classes whenever possible, as I feel I don't get as much learning from online courses. Online courses feel like, "Hey, go figure this stuff out yourself, then we'll test you on it."
Depending on what you're studying, LSU has good online classes that aren't bad price wise ($500 or so for a 3 credit class) and they're transferable to pretty much any other university. I'm using LSU for the 6 accounting credits I'll need after I graduate to be CPA eligible.
Apartment. Shocking.
The lesson here is to think for yourself. Lol at inferring that there is less opportunity in a large town.
Just a few weeks ago there was a thread talking about South Dakota School of Mines and Technology and how their graduates were earning more than Harvard grads at a fourth of the cost. There's opportunity everywhere but it seems all anyone does is complain about the bad in everything.
Great idea, and one area where I was terrible until my early 20's. My parents just gave me money all the time so I never really understood the importance of saving until I had been on my own for awhile. Now, I'm a bit extreme in the saving department, but I suppose it's better than the alternative
Great, then name some city jobs that allow you to study on the job.
What made you choose LSU? Are they known for good accounting courses?
Their courses are respected by all 50 states as upper division accounting credit for one.
Get off your arse and find one for yourself lazy butt.
Neh. I'll just go ahead and assume you're talking out of yours.
