Hello. I currently live in Boston, MA and have gotten put in the Volunteer Bridge Program. I’m assuming (from what I read) that it’s like going to UTK except having to take classes for a year at Pellissippi CC? Would you recommend this program to an out a state student, UTK is better than the other colleges I got into Salem State, Bridgewater State, Framingham State and UMass Dartmouth but is probably pricier. Any info about the program and advice is appreciated.
I think you could be a good fit in the program, but I also think the biggest obstacle for you will be the massive price difference. For 2015-2016, tuition & fees alone amounted to $30,856/yr for out-of-state students. The Volunteer scholarship for High-ACT students usually works to offset the OOS tuition addition but I’m not sure that will be able to apply to you as a freshman at PSCC.
