<p>Although we wish we could...we just cannot afford a summer program even with some financial aid that may be offered. Is there an advantage to taking just a community college course or two over the summer. Of course the courses selected would be in his area of interest while getting college credits and he would live home while doing this.</p>
<p>You just listed some great advantages to taking a college course over the summer: getting college credits and exploring one’s area of interest. And saving money (not only by not attending an overpriced summer program, but also by getting credits for much cheaper than you will once in college!)</p>
