I graduated high school in 2016, and did my freshman year at La Salle University. It’s a long story, but I had a baby in October 2017. I finished the year with A’s and B’s, although most of those classes didn’t transfer.

I enrolled in BCC Online Sep 2017, never taking any time off! I’m majoring in social work, with plans to become a child therapist. My GPA is around a 3.1. I’m taking five classes in the spring, and two in the summer. I’ve already had to do an extra year of school, and I’d like to avoid any more. My family’s EFC was $0, and since I had my daughter I’m now “independent” on the FAFSA.

I’m trying to figure out where to apply for Fall 2019. I’d prefer to continue studying online, because I’ve found it to be more convenient. My daughter also does modeling, which needs a flexible schedule. This obviously isn’t as important as college! But, it’s something we both enjoy, and it has helped us a bit financially. I’ve enjoyed being able to do my work away from home or at night with online college. I should be getting my license next month, and my dad saved enough money for me to get a “reliable car”. So, I can commute if I have to…

The two schools I’m focusing on are Montclair and Rutgers. Montclair is only 20 minutes away, and I don’t think there’s any online degrees? Rutgers is much more well-known, but it’s about an hour away, probably longer with traffic. I’m not sure if I’d get accepted, although I know A LOT of transfers with lower grades who were. They seem to have online degrees, but I couldn’t find one in social work.

My mom works in Westchester County, so we were considering relocating to NYC. Bergen County isn’t much cheaper than the city. NY seems to have a better deal as far as colleges go.
