One more question: What do you intend to do with a bachelor’s degree in Political Science or in Public Relations?
The reason that I ask is that I am wondering whether law school or some form of graduate program is likely in the future. If you are being funded by relatives, and if you are for example considering law school, then you might want to find out if they are also able and willing to fund law school, or if you save money for your bachelor’s degree will you be able to apply that money to a graduate program?
At least in my experience in Canada master’s degrees are often funded, and in both the US and Canada PhD’s are usually funded. Other graduate degrees such as law degrees, medical degrees, or a master’s degree in the US, are typically not funded and can be expensive. If you can save money for graduate school it is possible that this might be useful at some point.
