1. Do you own a home you can pull some equity out of? 2. If you rent, find a cheaper place to live once your lease is up. 3. Does your college offer scholarships or grants?
How do you like A&P through Moraine Park? Are the exams proctored? What kind of labs are there -- are they all done over the computer? I need to take it soon, and it's looking like online may be my only option. The two schools nearest me offer...
Thanks everyone. I guess they hadn't worked through all my transcripts when they sent me the notice out. Everything I wanted to transfer did (mostly the general stuff). Whew! My Chem is only good for 5 years from my application date, but thankful...
I moved from AJ a year and a half ago and now live in WI, but I recall even back then, there was talk of opening up a nursing program at the AJ campus. I'd give them a call and see if that's come to fruition. Could be...
I took Chm130 through Rio a few years back and earned an A. However I didn't work (SAHM to four preschoolers) so had the time to devote to it.....somewhat, lol. I spent 20+ hours each week on the course, and it was my only course. It helped tremen...

Rio doesn't have a very good reputation in regards to A&P, from what I've read here. I lasted about a week before dropping. I agree with others -- Rio really drops the ball on this course. That said, they are GREAT for many other courses. Ju...
I began to take it there a few years back and dropped. I felt the professor wasn't very helpful and the course was a joke as far as learning anything. I'd taken CHEM through Rio previously, learned a lot, and managed to earn an A. Didn't feel I c...
I received my transcript evaluation from FVTC the other day, and only 3 courses seemed to transfer (only one of them applicable to the nursing program: SOC 101). I have a BA from UWM (obviously 120+ credits) earned 10+ years ago. My English (I too...

The AJ Fire Department offers it the first Saturday of every month I believe. There are also a few programs in East Mesa. A friend of mine mentioned......Heartsavers? I honestly don't remember if that was the name or not, but it was in East Mesa an...
For some reason I'm thinking it's a very new program. I don't believe they've even had a graduating class yet; perhaps they haven't even started a class yet.
Wanted to add.....Multi, I think you just convinced me to not attempt Micro through Rio. I'm going to see if/how I can work it into Spring semester, or sometime thereafter even if it takes me longer. I just received the text, so I can study ahead. ...
I started BIO201 at Rio, but dropped it two lessons in. It was just too difficult (and I had taken an online science before, so it wasn't that). Too much concentration on the piddliest of details, so much so that I felt I might lose myself in the d...
If money is tight and you are willing to slow it down a bit, you can get a much better break on your tuition. By taking 7 credits or less through MCCCD you can be classified as an unclassified student, and you pay........gosh, I forget, but it's onl...
I'm not sure you will be able to find what you're looking for out here. At least not in the Valley. Some of the smaller, non-metro towns have character, if that's something you'd consider. I'm a former Wisconsinite myself, born and raised there. ...
