    ejf88 replied to ejf88's topic in General Students

    Thanks for the feedback. I think you're absolutely right. The fee is a little expensive ($450), but it's a great school and I might get in sooner. I'm going to find out if the classes at CC will transfer so I can keep taking them meanwhile. It would ...

    Thanks for the advice. They're letting me transfer english, psych, and sociology so I'm pretty sure anything I take between now and then will transfer. But you're right, I may end up waiting less than 2 years so it's a hard decision to make. Anyway, ...
