Cheers mate. I am now going to attempt to drink some water. All other attempts in the last 24 hours have resulted in projectile vomiting.
12 is full time. but you need to divide the total required to graduate by 8 semesters (4 years).
Ex: My college is 128 to graduate. That equals 16cr each semester. Our school has also changed almost all classes to 4 credits. Makes it much easier for a college load. 3 classes is 12 credits instead of 4.
Is that including loans Functional Train? I only got 1441 each semester this year. Last year I got 4600 each. Yay to failing businesses!

When I was going through the schedule, it didn't feel like full time.
The class schedule is weird. Either MWF or TuTH and each class is only 50 minutes long?
And it took me forever to find class times so that i wouldn't have 2-3 hours in between each class.
I haven't taken any loans, and don't plan to. If everything works out i wont have to pay a dime for classes, tuition, or books.
But gas is a problem, the school is 30 minutes away so I will be taking the metro train, luckily i get a 25% discount since im a student

Yea. Well, I got a 48 on my math placement test and barely failed so i have to take some stupid Math 45 course. They have a summer Math 45 internet course, but my financial aid wont cover for it.
So I was thinking if its possible to take a math 45 and Math 110-115 course at the same time?
If not, then I'd have to take the one month math 45 online course in the fall, but its only one unit. Then to be full time again, i'd have to choose another history or science class? This is confusing.

Don't feel bad. I dropped out of high school. Years later I went to college. My math testing scores were horrible. I also had to take remedial English classes. I had to redo elementary algebra (just a step above pre-algebra) three times because I just couldn't perform well when it came to tests. At one point I thought I wasn't going to be able to even get to college algebra and entertained dropping out of college.
My mom also struggled like I did in math and urged me to stick with it. So, I kept at it until I finally was able to squeak by in algebra. I started also in fundamentals of English. I later graduated with an English Ed degree.
One of my suggestions is to try and narrow down a major coming into your junior level or after having around 60 credits under your belt. I graduated with 186 credit hours over an 8 year period with only a bachelors degree. Focus to some extent is good.
Another suggestion is if you have extra money left over that you don't need to spend on books or school related artifacts, put it in an interest bearing account. Let it sit until the end of school. If you have any loans or anything to pay to the school, pay it off.
Last suggestion (as has been mentioned) is pick your classes and hours amount wisely. Spread your electives and fun classes in with your hard(er) classes. Look into online classes. I took a few classes online that were just absolutely awesome (meterology, advanced composition, health and wellness). 8 week classes are also pretty cool. It's a way to get two classes done in one semester which would've taken you two semesters.
I think that's it. Those are my suggestions from experience.
p.s. Have fun with your university years.
Thanks for the tips but you didn't answer my question.
For the win
