Dual Enrollment or Online Courses... Which is better?

Applying to College
1

<p>I am a junior in high school and we just started registering for next year's classes. I want to take a Calculus BC class, and since it's not offered at my school, I have to take it either online or through dual enrollment at a community college. I was wondering which option would be the best for me.</p>

<p>I'm not really interested in recieving college credits that will transfer. I just want to show that I am willing to go through a rigorous schedule and I don't want to settle for the easy classes offered at my school.</p>

<p>I want to be an engineer, so math classes are pretty important.</p>

<p>Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>Definitely take it at the community college, if commuting and cost are not factors.</p>

<ol>
<li><p>If you do well in the class and your professor loves you then you can potentially get a great recommendation. </p></li>
<li><p>I find that it’s much easier to learn science/math from a teacher who lectures and is there to answer all your questions right away.</p></li>
</ol>

<p>I agree with lolcats4. Obviously, if commuting is an issue, and it is hard to find a class that fits in your schedule (what with HS plus extracurriculars), then online would be fine, I assume.</p>
