As of right now, money is one of my biggest issues, but I will be putting much more effort into my business and working many more hours at my job to try to make up for this over summer. So expensive college suggestions are great too.
This is nuts. This student has strong stats and excellent instate 4 year options. Why would he give up his freshman standing to go to an OOS CC? That is ridiculous. You can move after graduation. You don’t save a “ton of money” in al instances by going to a CC, since the best FA and scholarships generally go to freshman applicants at most colleges. Also, often credits don’t transfer for engineering, and they end up spending an extra year or two finishing the degree (which has not only real costs for paying for extra years, but also has the opportunity cost of not being out of college and earning money after getting the degree).
You keep giving this CC advice on various threads. Certainly CC is good advice for SOME students. This does not seem to be one of those cases.
