<p>i dunno, but i already know i dont have a lot of money and im rubbing dimes to go to penn lol so i dont think i'll be able to afford an extra semester. i suppose you could always do summer coursework. which im sure is alot more affordable but i have a feeling i'll be missing my home by the time summer rolls around.</p>
<p>you could take summer courses at a college near your home (i'd do it at, say, UCLA).</p>
<p>Well you happen to have one of the best public universities close to home. I have USF. Which is okay. But, eh, I'll work my four years out at Penn.</p>
<p>While that's true, I'd assume that the credits would transfer over to Penn and it wouldn't really matter what the strength of the school near you was.</p>
<p>Well there'd be a personal difference in the quality of the education...(hopefully!)</p>
