Thread: Antiquated systems

So, I need to get advised for the upcoming quarter. I'm 260 miles away from my school though, and they only do advising in person. That means that I need to make an 8 hour round trip next week.

I also planned out my schedule with my advisor. Looks like 3 more years based upon when courses will come out, which isn't too bad, or so I thought. Most of those quarters I'd be half time, which used to mean no out of state tuition effectively cutting my cost of attendance in half. Now, that only happens at 5 hours or less (6=half time, 12=full time; 3 quarters @12 semester hours= 36=full load at a 2 sem college). So, goodbye fun money. -___-

Now, to turn that frown upside down, I have discovered that MIT and Stanford have a plethora of courses online. With those and the Elements of Computing that Veovis recommended, I should have plenty of busy work to keep my mind occupied until I'm back in school, which will keep the cabin fever at bay.
