<p>Why do colleges tell their students that if they have to catch up credits by taking summer classes, they are required to take them at their current university? What is that all about? My dean told me that our university policy at my school is that you can't go to other colleges to take your classes if you live near where you go. I have so many other cheap colleges that are near my house, and that I am not allowed to take them at these schools instead is just plainly ridiculous and nothing more than critical non sense.</p>
<p>We, the students, have the right to choose if we want to take summer courses somewhere else, and these policies kind of FORCES us to take them at our current university. And if I try to get permission to go take them somewhere else, they will say no.</p>
<p>Anyone else's college follows this rule too? </p>
<p>At my university, students are allowed to take summer classes at a community college closer to home. They’re just not allowed to take classes at a separate institution during the regular school year without explicit written permission from the dean.</p>
<p>Yeah, I wish my school even had a policy that lets us take classes at community colleges closer to my home too. But my school is so stupid that it doesn’t even allow us to take classes AT ANY INSTITUTION close to our home. They must be done HERE instead.</p>
<p>Why do you need to take summer classes to “catch up”?</p>
<p>Fwiw, at my school, you can transfer credits in until you reach 60 credits. Unfortunately for me, that was my first semester of my “freshman” year. Ah well.</p>
<p>Why do colleges want us to pay so much for tuition when they know increase in tuition cost is eventually going to hurt them on the long run? Graduation rate decreasing and enrollment of students decreasing eventually as well.</p>
<p>College students have a spending problem, not college’s revenues. </p>
<p>Once these schools cut down spending for us, then they will earn more than taxing us.</p>
