Where I went to college is non of your damn business and I have no intention on giving anyone, and certainly not you, any personal information of mine. Deal with it.
In another thread on the education forum you claim OU, Ohio University. But, you didn't start there, so I am thinking you began at a CC based on a previous conversation between you and Katania.
Correct, but you agree to all aspects of the university when you agree to go there. It isn't the best system, but nothing is really flawless...
"destroy your educational plans"? At least you aren't dramatic...No one is forcing you, you agreed to pay when you signed up for that college. How can you not understand this? That is like going to Wendy's, looking at a salad and a baconator, choosing the baconator then complaining that you ate an unhealthy dinner. You had a choice.
Kereczr, it does seem like you are lying. If you go here (http://consumerist.com/5069146/25-most-expensive-colleges-for-2008+2009 - broken link) you can see the 25 most expensive colleges in the country. I will not only give you a link, but break it down for you.
1. Sarah Lawrence College
Total: $53,166 Room and Board: $13,104, or $1,638/mo
2. New York University
Total: $50,182 Room and Board: $11,780 $1,472/mo
3. George Washington University
Total: $50,312 Room and Board: $11,102 or $1,388/mo
This is taking into account the standard 8 month year you live in a dorm. For you to not lie to us, there is exactly one college in the nation that you could have attended, and unfortunately, if you already graduated these numbers are higher than when you attended. Please either explain how you aren't just making this up as you go or just stay quiet.
But then again, the other guy who said $1,400/month was apparently wrong as well.

Excuse me? I guess I am forced to divulge personal information or be called a liar, mmmk. Miami university 4270 dollars a semester for an apartment style housing unit, which was required because the others were full. Add to that a mandatory dining requirement for the year, telecommunication fees which are pretty much a requirement for online classes. Along with the many other fees that are thrown at you and yes, the final fee is right there close to 1600. Thanks. The link right here http://www.hdg.muohio.edu/Housing/Rates/ Now if you wanna take the time, go through there and weed down all the first year costs they require you to accept.
You just listed a bunch of names with no proof as to what they did or did not say. Here let me return the favor. Fox News, Wallstreet journal, and CNN all agree with me!
What the **** are they agreeing with? You still fail to state the school, links or anything else. It is your word, and that is it.

Reason: rude
"Don't confuse getting prerequisites out of the way for the programs." --kereczr
Directly from my post you quoted Prereqs can be completed post secondarily if you are a good HS student, like I've said about 5 times now.

I have never heard of early placement at a community college, in fact, I really don't understand what you mean by that? Post-secondary education is education AFTER high school. So what with the rolling admission? If they start the nursing sequence in the fall, and have to have the pre-reqs done to start, it doesn't matter when they were admitted! "Rolling admission" at most colleges refers to no deadline to get the admission apps in, it doesn't mean they'll take you while you're still in high school!
CCs do not usually have dorms! Write that 100 times on a paper towel!
But then again, the other guy who said $1,400/month was apparently wrong as well.
Yeah...quality statistics can be hard to find, I guess we should ignore the fact that the only schools with dorms above $1,300/mo are in the NYC or DC metro areas...opinions should beat out facts any day

...yeah...and if you go here on the exact same site, you will see they give priority to first and second year students at Miami University. Upper classmen don't even have room draw until Freshman and Softmores are done. Guess what that means? No freshmen is stuck in an apartment style as you suggest. I don't see how you wouldn't know that if you went there.
here is a quote from 'your school's' website
Quote:
Q. Why do current second-year students get to select their room before juniors and seniors?
A. This change will allow us to fall in line with the University's new mission to nurture and develop the younger students by keeping them engaged on campus. Because the university is focusing its efforts on giving the less experienced students more support, it follows that those students should be given the priority when selecting an on-campus room/apartment. Space will be reserved for the current First Year students who will select their rooms during Spring Semester.
Second year students get priority over upper classmen. Weird how all of the dorms except the most expensive fill up with freshmen when you 'attended' this school.

Well one, I am not talking about community colleges! Two, Post-Secondary here refers to the classes taken in HS, with rolling admission if you get most of the prereqs out of the way in HS you can go in fall, finish the remaining and be in by spring. I said nothing about being in accepted while in HS. God, I really am done with this, all I am doing at this point is repeating myself and explaining the same thing every time.

Ah-ha!!!!
So the $1,600 figure you've been blathering about includes not just the roof over your head, the security that goes with it, the furniture in the room etc. ... but it also includes your food, and "many other fees."
If you're living in an apartment, sweetie, you also have to buy your own food. You'd have to have transportation to get to the grocery store. You'd still have to pay the "many other fees" and the "telecommunications fee" because I'd assume no matter where you live if you take an online class you'd be paying a fee for it.
Bottom line: No one is forcing you to go to a specific college. No one is forcing you to go to any college. If you don't like the rules, go elsewhere.
Criminey, how tough is that? Even a college grad should be able to figure it out.

Nice try though. You almost did enough research to pull that off...
Huh? I have no clue what you're talking about, dorms where full almost across the board, the more expensive living units that most people avoided, the apartment units, had opening so I was placed there. I said I was in an apartment unit since the start of this thread, if you don't believe me, go back and look.
