<p>Take a look at the cost of community college classes where you live during the summer. You can take a low/no paying job in the summer if you want to, but the best use of your time in the summer, bar none, is to punch out a class or two off your degree plan. You might graduate a semester early this way, or facilitate that triple major with 2 minors that you fancy. </p>
<p>You have to be very careful that USC will accept the community college courses for credit, but there is a whole system in place just to do that.</p>
<p>At the community college where we live, the book for the course is usually more expensive than the tuition!</p>
