<p>help I need cons and pros and just advice</p>
<p>Would help to elaborate. Do you mean to take dual enrollment classes?</p>
<p>yeah, like i do both senior year and freshman year collge. I want tips about this</p>
<p>I'm a senior in HS and taking English 101 Composition at Northampton Community College 2 days a week.</p>
<p>Pros - Might transfer to a your 4 year college as credit (either as the same course credit or as an elective). Also, it shows that you are putting a little extra time into your academics on your transcript; that you are able to take a college course on top of your HS classes. And it gets you used to the college environment a little bit (even though it is only a community college).</p>
<p>Cons - It is an extra class on top of your HS classes. My English class always had homework, well, until now. Now we're just working on our final papers already. lol.
Also, it takes extra time. My class is from 3:00 - 4:15 2 days a week, but that's fine because I have no life. haha. Sometimes it is boring and useless too... but overall, I've had fun in it so far.</p>
<p>TL;DR - I recommend dual-enrollment. It's a good experience and might transfer as credit.</p>
<p>i think your confused. The college I want to go to starts you of as a full time freshman as well as finshing your last 2 or 3 credits in highschool, was wondering if anyone ever did this?</p>
<p>What college are you talking about? Where is there a web link for the program you are thinking about studying in?</p>
<p>My daughter did dual enrollment because she had exhausted the math curriculum at her HS. She took three classes per semester at the HS and 3 at a localish university.</p>
<p>Pros: Continued to advance in math, learned the importance of contact with professors and became comfortable with college life--navigating campus, using ID, enrolling in classes--before going away to college, gained college credits (we think--see cons), demonstrated desire to achieve on college apps.</p>
<p>Cons: Missed PA announcements at HS ("sign up for...by Friday" etc.), had to drive long distances in bad weather, most colleges do not give credit for college classes that fulfill HS requirements, nearly 3 months into freshman year she still doesn't know what credits will transfer--makes it difficult to choose classes (this is probably highly dependent on where one chooses to go to college).</p>
