Alright, so it's too late to call an adviser and I'm kind of interested so we'll see what type of answers I can get. I know this isn't exactly the best place to ask but I usually get a decent answer to my stupid questions so I figured I'll give 'er a go.
Here is the situation...
I went 1 year at ACI which is a small private school in Idaho, then transferred my credits to Boise St where I went for a little over a semester before getting bored and realizing I could make more without a journalism degree.
That was about 4 years ago.
Now I want to go back and get my computer science degree.
Will there be any record of the credits from before, or do I need to start from scratch?
Also, my momma was paying for my college back in the day but she is spending her cash on her own stuff now and doesn't want to really help out since Boise St is only like a few grand a year, whereas ACI was 30K+. So I have to take out loans...
Is it possible to take out more loans then I need, to pay for school and so I can just quit my job for now and focus on school? I'll be making a decent amount of cash when I graduate so I'm not worried about running up 20K or whatever in loans. I want to concentrate on school 100% and don't want to work during that time, because, well, I'm lazy and have my online/writing jobs to fall back on. No 9-to-5er while I get the degree.
Also, I am still paying back an 8K loan from my first year of college back in the day. Will that prevent me from getting other loans?
If the credits transfer over and I have 2.5 years left or so, is it possible to cram that into much less time...? Pretty much, how hard is it to graduate a 4-year degree in 3? Or less? Anyone do it?
That's about it. Thanks in advance. At 24, I feel really old and figure it's about time I get the damn degree out of the way. ope:
