Oh absolutely, also we had "running start" where high school kids could take college level classes at a community college and then when they began freshmen year they had a year or more of credits already taken care of. They then had the option of graduating early and saving a ton, or having enough flexibility to double major.

I only completed AP History and Psych, and even those were nice bonuses.

Have to make sure the school you're ultimately graduating from will accept the credits. Some schools won't.

I did both! Double majored and graduated early. Saved a bunch of money on a degree I do not use at all.

I wish I had done this. I have a friend from my first university before I transferred that had done online homeschooling that had a program like this. She was 18 and two years from a bachelor's in mechanical engineering and was starting a master's program before I even finished my gen eds.

When people talk about doing this its always in the context of state systems designed for such transfers which is pretty much every single state.

Still, yes you need to have the equivalency tables out when registering.

For the first, in Florida at least, graduating with an AA from a state community college means that any public four year school in Florida is required to accept you. Individual programs do not have to accept you, but the school cannot refuse, and all of your credits transfer.

I can't speak for other states, though.

I did this. Saved me close to 50 grand, Pell Grants paid for all of the Gen Ed portion and I walked away with my four year degree only owing about 22 grand. Paid that off within four years of graduating. Felt good, but certainly wish it was the norm for most people.

No one would know I went to CC for my gen ed stuff either unless they looked at my transcripts (not that I'd care either, if someone gave a poo poo about that, gently caress 'em). Also Gen Ed stuff, I had to re-take a couple of classes once I got to my 4-year school and there was zero difference aside from class makeup. In fact, my community college classes were smaller than my university gen ed classes. Go figure.

quote:

At this point the commotion and the sounds one of the men’s young teenage daughter screaming for her father and the others to let me go started attracting more people, (most whom I didn’t know) who started attempting to intervene. The attackers told the growing group, “we’re going to break his arms” (while literally attempting to bend my arms behind me) and then stated to the members of their party several times to, “get a noose”, amongst some other choice slurs. With me still pinned underneath them they kept telling onlookers to leave the, “boy” and that everyone else (all white) could go. Folks then started filming the confrontation, and shouting that they wouldn’t leave me to be killed.”

Is the main reason colleges are going full speed ahead with restarting sports when classes are a total mess is that if they shut down programs for a year, they would lose recruits to less responsible schools? Seems like the NCAA should step in and preemptively cancel the seasons, but somehow I don't think America's FIFA is going to do that.

There honestly probably is a legit class action suit with regards to how this forum has been moderated, relating to registration and account upgrade costs. There really is not a proper Terms and Conditions thing that you agree to, and the official rules that are listed are not enforced as listed. The mods just basically arbitrarily ban people based on the rules that they decided in their own head, but are not actually posted in the official forums rules that are listed here: https://www.somethingawful.com/d/forum-rules/forum-rules.php

Basically anyone who was ever banned would likely be able to successfully sue for any money they paid into Something Awful. Now as a singular lawsuit that makes no real sense, but as a class action, there would be a lot of money in jeopardy.

I don't know. Any time I have been banned, I have tried to contact customer service and never received any reply, so my bank agreed that I should be refunded the money I had spent. Pretty sure Something Awful at any point in time could face a lawsuit that would completely bankrupt the company. If I was Jeffrey I would not even consider buying this disaster of a company, he is opening himself up to a lot of liability (eg losing his entire investment)
