<p>Anyone thinking of getting a head start and maybe starting one or two classes at Columbia during the summer?</p>
<p>Anyone know where to find more information?</p>
<p>there really is no reason to do this and i'm not even sure that columbia would count that toward your gpa. Its the summer before your freshman year...just enjoy it!</p>
<p>Head start on what? Unless you're graduating in 3 years or something, there's no point. </p>
<p>Also, Columbia summer school is a rip-off.</p>
<p>so which summer school is good then? berkeley???</p>
<p>Your local community college, where it costs like $50 for a course.</p>
<p>I think I might want to graduate in 3 years. I should just take classes at the local community college if I want to do that then?</p>
<p>no, they probably wont count for credit toward ur columbia degree....</p>
<p>why do u wanna graduate in 3 yrs anyway?? and what are u planning on majoring in?</p>
<p>They will count, as long as they are after your high school graduation. They won't go towards your GPA, though.</p>
<p>Nothing inherently wrong with graduating in 3 years. Columbia is expensive.</p>
<p>Anyway I was just thinking of things to do this summer, and there was an opportunity at NIH but I don't want to be down in maryland my last summer home. I was just thinking of things to do besides being a bum and hanging out with friends, job, and some misc things here and there, all summer.</p>
<p>IMO taking classes would be a bad option.</p>
