Need Advice!! ASAP!! (Lexington, Frankfort, Richmond: renting, loans, house)

[Jerseyboy22]

Okay so i moved from NJ to KY about a month ago, it was a rough change and still is! well anyways i have questions. I hear UPS offers programs that pay tuition fully here is that true?

Because if that is true, my son finally has a way to go to college. I am in a bind with paying his twin sisters way through school and keep getting denied loans so he has a chance to go on with schooling. (so far hes attempted suicide once, admitted himself into a suicide ward 3 times, and from what a friend of his tells us, his mother and I beleive he may try again or admit himself again)

He has put himself under intense pressure to get a degree, and has made it clear to many people in the family that he would rather off himself if you will, before giving up and not getting a degree (hes even given himself a timeline to get started!!) And he doesnt beleive in the entire your never to old to go to college (we have moved alot and hes never had any friends because of it, he feels if he gets too old having a college life, social life or any of that is gone for good)

So I Have heard UPS helps tuition pay if the person works third shift (12-5am)
Does anybody know the drop out rate for kids who do this, if there are any catches to this program or not? Will his being out of state cause issues with that program?

And lastly, We currently are renting a house in St Matthews (on chenoweth, right across the rail road crossing, on the corner is the intersection for Shelbyville Road, Frankfort, Breckenridge, Newport, and Lexington Ave (hope that helps you pinpoint us enough to answer this)

Is that area good for bus routes that go into the city to the community college? Is it reliable? What about coming back from the college?

Hopefully somebody can answer these questions for us, My son tells me that registration is getting close to being over so hopefully this gets answered quickly!

The answers are all yes. You already know alot. Trust yourself. UPS has a great program where they pay your college and buy your books. Contact them for specifics. There are much better areas to be for buses tahn where you are, but it is easy to reliably catch buses downtown from there:

Use the trip planner here:

If things don't work out with UPS look into Berea College south of Richmond KY. He'd have to move away and live on campus but it is a terrific school with a work/ learn program. Also has a "no greeks" campus and is in a dry(no alcohol) area so there are few distractions. Beautiful campus. Highly recommended college.
