Fall 2011 (AKA Giant Wall of Text)

[swedishtaco]

Ok, time for the college student rant of classes and stuff. I know that I mentioned where I go and what I'm doing in a general sense. What I haven't mentioned is that I'm a super senior and feel somewhat of a failure because of it. I know that the first college that I attended really screwed me for general classes, but even with two majors should

my wall of text was bigger. :D

sorry that you fell down the stairs. I hope you get better soon. :(

actually, summer classes aren't that bad via cost effectiveness if you took classes like your english and art history over summer. you'd get them done faster and get your degree sooner.

p.s. they also tend to grade nicer for summer courses.

That is true, your wall of text dwarfs mine.

That is true, but when a 1 credit class costs about 1100 bucks during the summer, I tend to revert to my penny-penching tightwadiness roots of my ancestors. Especially since a 15 credit course load is roughly 37, maybe 4000 bucks during a regular semester. :3 Iunno, just seems like a rip-off to me.

or what you could do... is take classes at nova over the summer. I mean, it would be significantly cheaper. at least half of what you just stated now.

i know now it's probably too late. but it's something to think about, at least. it can't be that hard to shift between the two colleges as some of my friends did it frequently when they attended GMU.

Ah, yes, that is very true...had I not already exceeded the credit limit to do so. My counselor explained to me that once I go over a certain credit threshold, I could no longer take classes at nova. Well, I could, but they wouldn't transfer or count towards anything. :/
