-- Posted by Just Waiting Here at 9:46 am on June 28, 2008 So, I took a year off to work, and so in a sense, I feel as if I'm one year behind.  I'd really like to speed up my graduation progress, but it's also expensive at this point to take summer classes in '09 at my other school. So basically, I'm planning on taking my courses at my school, and on the side, taking some of the requirements that can be done at any school, at a community college. One of my sister's said this was a good idea.  The other one was worried that a prerequisite at a community college would leave me unprepared at the university. Anyone ever done this?  And did anyone have difficulties?  And has anyone ever attended two schools at the same? -- Posted by MiNNiCK at 9:49 am on June 28, 2008 Classes from different schools tend to vary. I've never personally did this, but I've known people who have. It can go two ways really. One, there could be no problems at all. Two, the classes you take at a community college wouldn't count towards your graduation from your university. That's the most likely result. Universities don't have the same standardized classes for majors for eligibility to graduate. It does differ. One school might require a class  to graduate, while another may require something completely different. -- Posted by Just Waiting Here at 9:51 am on June 28, 2008 Quote: from Minnick at 9:49 am on June 28, 2008 Classes from different schools tend to vary.

From what I know, some classes are trasferrable, and some classes you HAVE to take at the school you want to graduate from.  I can take my general classes, like the basic ones that I have to fulfill from general areas from a community college.  Likewise, since I would be out of state until after summer, the university fees for a summer class (not to mention continuing the 1 hour commute over summer) wouldn't be worth it and the like. -- Posted by MiNNiCK at 9:53 am on June 28, 2008 Quote: from Just Waiting Here at 12:51 pm on June 28, 2008 Quote: from Minnick at 9:49 am on June 28, 2008 Classes from different schools tend to vary.

Then try it out and see what happens. -- Posted by Just Waiting Here at 9:58 am on June 28, 2008 Quote: from Minnick at 9:53 am on June 28, 2008 Then try it out and see what happens. I want to, but then again, I get so many mixed things about difficulty and the like from school.  Lol, I dunno.
