You did get a really great deal considering many colleges and universities today cost full-time students upwards of $40,000 or even $50,000 per year including room and board.

That bargain university I attended is now $46,000 today. How bout that inflation?

Just remember that the whole world can read whatever you write here....

and if I were you, I'd go delete the paragraph with the word "scheme" in it...... you're now solidly entering that "honcho's" area................

Done

As someone that has worked as an administrator at 3 colleges, and still deals with college costs on a daily basis as I counsel high school students, I can tell you that a loophole like that is incredibly rare. Most schools spend considerable time on pricing issues--credit hours vs full time, and reviewing what the competition charges.

Frankly, I am somewhat amazed that administrators there were aware of this and allowed it to remain in place.

One thing no one has mentioned: If you are on your parents medical insurance, not being a full time student may be a problem.

Stonehill allows you to do this?

BTW, Lightning Bolt, there is nothing to do where Stonehill is, other than to get screwed. I know, I used to live 5 miles from there.
