But you can take a course at a community college (that will probably transfer?) for 1/4 of the cost that will teach you the same thing.
Heeheehee. What was fun. Mine did transfer from a community college to a university. But when I slipped back into a... well, technically state college now, but functionally equivalent to a community college, but whatever. For some extra stuff. The course I took in community college didn't transfer to the one I'm in now (this is despite the one I'm in now actually being closer to the older one than the university I hit up).
It was... unpleasant. Literally the exact same course. Same
everything. Didn't transfer.
Whee.
Point being. If you're going that route -- I'd seriously suggest getting at least up to AA (in general education, if nothing else, to clear out pre-reqs) in a local (cheaper) college, but make
damn sure wherever you're intending to transfer to (and probably your 2-5th backups) will accept whatever courses you're taking. Because sometimes they don't, and there's no standard or reliable heuristic you can use to know for sure.
