<p>I understand your view point of freshman year/the experience being important, and while I think it is for some, I do not believe it is something I will miss or regret. I have been doing online classes on flvs for all of hs because the school I’m zoned for doesn’t allow for dual enrollment, so I’ve already supposedly missed out on the high school experience and I’m not bothered by not having homecoming/prom or ‘missing out’ on sitting with the same people at lunch every day. I understand this is important for some if not most people, but for me what’s going to come first is school, not social life or friendships at school, and going through it with the least amount of debt possible (hence why I want to avoid taking another 12 hours to be considered a transfer, or being forced to take freshman classes at a university, as I see it mostly as a waste of money)
I appreciate your view on this, and I know many are relieved to come in as freshmen even though they already have credits, but that is their personal feeling towards this and I am allowed to feel differently than the majority. I have already made up my mind that I /will/ be a transfer, it’s just how to go about it that I’m curious about. If you or anyone else think that taking the extra 12 hours or fighting for my status with the schools I decide I really want to go to is better, I’d like to know and I’d like to know why. (And if the 12 hours option is better, do I take blow offs or classes that are interesting/major related but may not transfer, and risk having to repeat them)</p>
