<p>Seems like she spent the same amount of time (16 semesters) in high school and college combined, but in a cheaper way.</p>
<p>“Normal”: 8 semesters in high school + 8 semesters in university (looks like both are expensive private schools from your description)</p>
<p>What she actually did: 6 semesters in high school (skipping senior year) + 3 semesters in community college + 7 semesters in university</p>
