<p>I applied for fall semester but I'm homeschooled so I can work on high school at my own pace. If I graduate before the start of fall semester is there any way I can start college/move in earlier? I really want to get out of the house lol</p>
<p>There are a few schools that allow freshman to start the summer before, but you’ll have to look for them. In general though, it’s best to start with the rest of your class, as that’s when most of the freshman intro classes will be on offer, not to mention the social aspects of all starting together.</p>
<p>At non-selective community colleges, you can start during any term. However, selective colleges generally have most or all of their new frosh intake in the fall.</p>
<p>Taking any college courses after high school graduation may disqualify you from frosh admission at many schools. Transfer admission typically means fewer scholarships available, plus requirements to complete more college course work before transfer. However, taking college courses before high school graduation generally should not force you into the transfer path.</p>
<p>Most colleges offer summer session courses that are open to anyone. However, college summer courses are expensive (often more expensive than regular term) and generally do not offer any financial aid. You’ll also need to pay housing and board, which might be limited on-campus. If so, you would need to find a sublet.</p>
<p>There’s not a lot of good reasons to take on this kind of expense, and you’ll lose out on making friends in the fall. I and a lot of other students made good friends by walking to the same classes together, sitting together and studying for them together afterwards. The sheer amount of time you spend with people this way isn’t easily replicated. Clubs and other activities also generally halt during the summer.</p>
<p>A better idea would be to check out your local community college, contact your university about transfer credit policies, and do some GEs or other non-major classes. If you plan on a professional school, knock out the random prereqs like public speaking or get an EMT/phlebotomy/CNA/pharm tech/other license. You can probably even take some community college courses during spring semester, if you haven’t started already. </p>
<p>If you really want to get out of the house, how about finding a job? An employer reference would put you ahead of the pack when looking for internships.</p>
