Indeed. Homeschoolers are sought after by colleges and universities for two reasons:

1) They are well prepared to thrive academically.

2) They are far less likely to have “drama” in their lives which is time consuming and expensive for the colleges and universities to handle.

The only thing she had trouble with was the speed of the class. By that I mean when we home schooled we sped up easy stuff and slowed down harder stuff she had trouble with. So when she started classes some parts were real slow for the other students to keep up. She was surprised that they had not learned some of the basics in high school.

We will see how she does next year when she starts getting past the stuff she was taught in high school. It will be calculus II, physics, and a little into organic chemistry. We had her take some classes that she already knew the material so she could learn the class routines.
