IzzyJ, I actually transferred into Knox at the beginning of the 2003-2004 school year. So really, i’ve been at Knox three years. i actually shoudl have graduated last year ('05) but i wanted to study abroad and because of losing some credits when I transferred, that meant I would have to stay an extra year. But honestly, I am so happy that I stayed. I’m just sorry that I didn’t get to experience all 4 years at Knox. There are actually a lot of people in your situation, who come into Knox with IB or AP credits. My sister and her best friend, who are both juniors now, can technically graduate at the end of next fall. However, they are both planning on staying the full year. I just think that college is a time to enjoy your life. I mean, Knox has all of the tools to help prepare you for the ‘real world’ in three years But you have the rest of your life to work, and only a short amount of time to live life freely as a college student…so why rush? Plus, you will most likely become friends with those who enter Knox the same year as you. So if you left in three years, you would miss out on all of the fun senior activities. Senior year is a real special time, kind of like being a senior in HS. You realize that you only have a few more months to see your friends everyday, and you become more appreciative. The entire class bonds.
Again, this is just my opinion on the issue. I hope this helps you some :)
