The process I started 10 days ago is wrapping up. I have spent most of the evening printing out verification forms, applications, and filing paperwork.
I will say this, everything is so much easier this time around compared to doing all of this for college before. Everything was done on paper and in person. There are no surprises when it comes to the cost of classes, the price of the books, or what materials I will need for the course. Hell there is even a website for researching the professors. My policy used to be never and I do mean never register for a class with someone with a foreign last name. Now, I just go over to this site and read all the good or sometimes very ugly comments people leave about a professor and make my decision from there. It's wonderful.
Also, this time around I've decided I'm paying for my education with student loans. I simply cannot pay for college and all of my other life expenses at the same time. I will have to pay for this first round of classes initially but work will reimburse me for that and then the student loans will start in the fall semester.
