   Thank you for your insights. After reading as many posts as possible, I know now I cannot do a FT studying. It is just out of question. However, PT looks like I could do it. Are you taking your program at a local community college? Thanks.

   gwiazdaus replied to gwiazdaus's topic in General Students

   Deaconess college online looks like a very interesting place. I checked out their site. Very interesting. However, as you mentioned, the tuition is very high. The entire program would probably cost $~30,000. I wish I had the money to afford thi...
