Dual Enrollment - Worth Paying for credits?

I found that it really paid off for me to do a little research before I was dual-enrolled. Each university had a different policy. The University of Washington is taking all 46 of my credits (I made sure each class was transferable before I chose it), and I’ll actually matriculate as a sophomore.

That being said, other schools took little to none!

After checking out each school’s foreign language requirements, I made sure that one of my college classes was Spanish 201 (2nd-year university level Spanish), worth 4 quarter credits. I had already completed four years of high school Spanish at this point. Having dual-enrolled in Spanish 201, I will never have to worry about taking a foreign language again or a foreign language placement test…at least at my desired schools. This was important to me as I did not want to spend another summer going over vocabulary!
