   KerriA replied to kymmy111's topic in Massachusetts

   I have a BA in psych - and most of the courses except for a select few like stats - most are pretty easy. Psych 101 will likely just require remembering stuff - A and P will require you entire brain. Good luch whatever you decide.

7. Irritating Classmates

   KerriA replied to ImThatGuy's topic in General Students

    If you have a period of about three months, as I did, you have to attribute it to something....like label that period of time. I'm not sure what my options were but I did have to account for my lack of employment. Your work history has to be complete...
