I'd check out the community college courses. I think that's a great idea.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Aims, if the community college is both cheaper and transferable? And you're frustrated at having to sit there not taking classes? Sounds like a win all around (except for the poopy U of Ph, maybe)

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Aimee, I vote for taking a few classes at the community college. If nothing else, it will keep you in practice with the study skills.

Take some classes, Aimee. You don't want to lose your momentum.

Aimee, I'd say take the classes, unless the money you use for them is going to keep you from being able to pay off your tuition a UoP for too long.

Thrive to spite them
Aimee, I'd say take a look at community college, unless it's going to really put you far behind paying UoP.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
I say take the classes, baby.
Hell, I wish I could go back to school, but gods know how I'd pull it off.
But you...yeah, don't lose the momentum.

Aimee, that's exactly what I did. I owed my first university a bunch of money, and community colleges don't care about having the transcript. You should be able to figure out what classes you're going to need, and just start with that. That's an absolutely smart decision right there, girl.
Also, have I mentioned lately what an amazing landlord I have? It just needs to be said again. Amazing. Really, really amazing.

As someone who works at a college- I would say take the classes, but definitely make 100% sure with the college/uni you want to get your degree with that they will transfer from the particular community college you are going to, if that makes sense. My uni, for example, simply does not accept any math, science or computer classes from community colleges. You should contact the advising or admissions office at the college you want your degree from.

Aimee, also look into the Honors program at the community college. I know a bunch of community colleges (including the one I went to) will give a "scholarship" to their honors courses. The classes are smaller and all honors students and the tuition is waived.
