@magdak Emphasis on the “some.” If he wants to move to New England he’ll have to look at the schools where he his application is welcome. Probably lower down in the rankings.
@thumper1 If a student starts by taking random classes (exploring interests), then focuses on a transfer degree, or changes from one transfer program to another, it’s pretty easy to have a few classes left to finish your transfer requirements while already having more than enough total credits. My kid just wanted to add a few classes for fun and interests (public speaking, etc). I know another kid she went to school with who has a passion for ASL who has way more sign languages classes than fit in an astronomy transfer plan.
