Subject: I was the typical college Freshman, even a sorority girl. THEN, I STUPIDLY got married after my junior year and transferred. What an idiot. I lost 33 credit hours in the transfer nad had to pay the last 3 semesters and some summer school myself. Going to school as a married woman was really different even thought the age thing was the same.
In reply to: Ceilidh....I'll be back here in a few years for advice for Joey! 's message, "I have to preface this with the fact I graduated high school....took a 'year off'...went to community college and worked for a year...got married...worked ANOTHER year suporting us both as a preschool teacher THEN went to university. *confused yet?* And I had a REALLY hard time the first few weeks...I came home from 'school' every night for 3 WEEKS and cried for over an hour! I was always a good student but didn't enjoy high school, felt so much older than everyone else (I was 21!), and was VERY overwhelmed at first. My DH a severely learning disabled student really LOVED the uni experience from the get go---but not the classes. ;) Give him a few weeks..it is a LOT to take in. And I think he'd be better off keeping the class..I took 15-18 credits a semester (damn design labs!) but DH took 12 (or less--allowed as full time because of LD) and he ended up on the 6-year plan! 14 years out and we are STILL paying student loans! Good luck Mama!" on 14:44:49 08/31/09 Mon
