| Is this a good deal?
7 Credits for $2205.00
I was wondering if this was a good deal or not.
I have the option of taking two classes (one 4 credit hours and the other 3 credit hours) over the summer for $2205.00. These are pesky GERs that I have to get out of the way.
Thank you for your help. |

| Is that for a cheap state school or out of state community college? | |

| So it is a good value for the price?
I probably will regret it, but I'm looking forward to it! | |

| Are you a high schooler right now? If so, just wait..those 7 credits really aren't much benefit. If you are already in college, good luck but its gonna suck lol. | |

| To do only 7 credits in the summer really isn't going to be much of a factor whether or not you graduated. In my opinion you are better off spending your time working or just hanging out. It is very easy to get burned out from school. You need 120 credits to graduate, 2 classes in the summer isn't going to dictate whether or not you graduate in 4 years. | |

| But it makes my sophomore year in college easier...I get to take two fewer classes, allowing me to do ECs or whatever. | |

| Just advice from an elder  Take it with a grain of salt, but it has just been a personal experience of mine(and other friends, and probably people on here) and I thought I'd share. | |

| Babe, if you haven't even started college, don't be worried about your sophomore year. You don't know how things are going to work out your first year, so your sophomore year could be completely different than you predicted. As B said, you can get burned out really easily. Just RELAX. Trust me, it's not worth doing anything else. | |

| Why not spend the time doing something fun over the summer that you won't have a chance to do in college?
You probably can find workshops and conferences in fields that interest you. If you can afford college classes for the summer, you could spend the same amount of $ on an interesting trip.
You'll have plenty of chance to take classes when you're in college. Do something different this summer. | |

| Wait until you're in college to decide if you need to go to classes in the summer. You'll have a better grasp on what workload you can handle during the year. | |
