<p>@Columbia09 if I took it at the institution near my home, it would be ‘easier’ but that’s not why i’d do it. it’s because I would want to be home/near friends, so would that be ok? and @miamidap, what if I did research while taking the class? I’m not sure… </p>
<p>right now, I’m leaning towards taking the class at my school, suffering what would most likely be a weaker grade in the course, and just going home/doing research in the summer. although maybe I’ll do the research & take class at institution near home option if that won’t hurt me too much.</p>
