<p>I’m going to be a freshman too. But, I think it’s pointless to attend a Pre-College program when you’re going to college in fall. Most of the time kids attend those programs because they want it to look good for colleges…</p>
<p>The cheapest thing you can do: Community College Classes. I took one two years back. You’ll be at a college and you’ll be earning credits that should transfer well. And it prepares you more for fall. Oh, and it’s incredibly cheap. Can you really beat that? Possibly take a few science classes at community college? I know for a fact that to become a CC Professor, you must be highly qualified, more than being a private university professor in most cases. Don’t look down on it. It’s a great alternative to spending possibly $800 per credit. You’ll be spending maybe…$600 for the WHOLE class. It’s a good deal. It’s also geared towards older students. You’ll probably need to get into contact with them in a reasonable time period if you want to do it.</p>
<p>Personally, I’d suggest travel and work. But, that’s me. lol.</p>
