ok so here's the deal, if u r planning on going somewhere a little less expensive for the first year, NHCTC would be good cause believe it or not McIntosh is wicked expensive! For 15 months which is bearly a smidge more than a year, i am paying $30,000 dollars. yea people assume ohhh it's just mcintosh so it's cheap ahhh yea, no! lol but NHCTC is only like $5,000 a year if that so you may want to look into something like that instead.
I'd forego the car to stay out of debt anyday. Taking the bus is so much more cheaper than paying for insurance, gas, maintenance, registration, etc.
You may be a little too late to get scholarships for this year, but you can apply each year you go to school. It's even easier when you know what you're going to study because there are specialized scholarships for those too. And don't take this the wrong way at all but you can also get money from your African American background, it is actually a good thing.
well that's true that it would save me a heck of a lot of money. but it is such a CUTE car! and i've always wanted one. ahh, i might end up giving up my car to pay for college though.
i'm guessing your right about the scholarships. i'm so lazy and should have done them earlier. hopefully there's some type of scholarship that i can get over the summer time. and i will try to look for something next year.
i actually thought about that, along with my other options. and i decided that if i took a year off, i would end up not even going. i don't want to end up like rick working in teenage girl clothing stores. oh btw, that's wicked creepy of him. lol. hopefully u don't take a year off either, it just doesn't work out very well.
statistics show that 40% (or it's 60%) of people that take a year off don't go back to school, i'm not taking a year off. rick only works at those places cause he's a creepy pervert and i hate him.
Speaking from experience, NHCTC is the way to go if you want somewhere cheap to get the gen eds and then transfer. All credits that count toward a Liberal Arts degree at nhctc are completely transferable to any University System of NH college (aka UNH). Because they are all transferable, they go by (supposedly) the same standards as at places like UNH. I got a little bit of financial aid, but what i didnt get, i took out a loan for. I do not have to start paying the loan back till i am out of any sort of schooling. It is only a fraction of the amount everyone else in their mainstream colleges will have to pay back (or what their parents are paying
( ... )
and cant you redo fafsa anytime? i did mine over the summer last year...try talking to a UNH financial aid person. or talk to elaine scovill at NHCTC (she was trained by ellen cooke i'm pretty sure). It doesnt matter which college's financial aid department you talk to, even if youre not going to that college, they can still help you out. you probly could talk to ellen too, cuz she's in the know about some of that stuff...
wow laura after readin eveything u just wrote I just comepletely changed my mind about college! lol Currently i am enrolled in McIntosh and they r charging me $30,000!!!! for 15 months, and yea NHCTC is waay cheaper, is it to late to apply there do ya think?
I applied for NHCTC a couple weeks after graduation last year....and for my second semester, i signed up for classes the day my first class started. They dont care when you apply. Just check any contracts you may have already signed with macintosh (they wanted me and my mom to sign our lives away when we went in to find out about some classes- we refused to though)
But yeah, unless you have a specific field of study you want to go into that macintosh has, i'd say go for NHCTC...even if you decide you dont want to go on to be a junior somewhere else, you've still got that diploma, which people keep telling me is worth something...lol.
$30,000 for culinary arts i can understand, but any other courses i wouldnt be so excited about....thats just me though.
