Good luck on whatever path you choose. I am not in an accelerated program, I am in my third semester, no scholarships all loans and out of pocket. What I will tell you is this, get far away from home and stay away from ANYTHING that will distract you from your studies. I live with my partner at home and I have family obligations. I think it would have benefitted me more to have lived away from everyone without distractions of any sorts. Congrats! I study or try to at least 4 or 5 hrs a day and that's still not enough. I am 43 yrs old (44 next month) it takes alot for me to retain the information.
