<p>Hey there. I've been considering starting my Purdue education in the Spring of 2011. What are the disadvantages and advantages of doing so? Am I able to take courses at community colleges until then? Do I still have to submit my housing app by May 1? Will I end up graduating later? If not, will I have to increase my course load?</p>
<p>Thanks in advance :D</p>
<p>Disadvantages: You miss out on the bonding that people have in the Fall</p>
<p>Advantages: No idea</p>
<p>Speaking from personal experience.</p>
<p>advantage - you start in spring, not in fall
disadvantage - you start in spring, not in fall.</p>
<p>Advantage: The season goes from winter to spring
Disadvantage: The season goes from summer to fall to winter</p>
<p>Disadvantage: The awkward “Im new and I dont know anyone here” stage that you will feel in the spring, your classmates got gotten over that a semester ago. </p>
<p>Advantage: Your going to the school of your choice??? (Hopefully)</p>
<p>Real advantage unlike the rest: You can get a job and get a head start in paying for college.</p>
<p>Disadvantage: People may have already made friends, probably no double dorms available so you’ll have to stay in a single.</p>
<p>Freshman oreintation might not be as well put together as it was in the fall because not many people start in the Spring which would make adjusting to campus difficult.</p>
<p>i’m also starting in the spring as a transfer at UT. i’m nervous too.</p>
