Most of them, like my daughter have pretty decent scholarships.
I had no real concept of just how good her school was. Until recently, that is. We went on a trip out west ans stopped in a lot of high end galleries. Once the curators realized she was not “ just a tourist” I saw their demeanor change.
They went from barely speaking to her, to being fully engaged.
After seeing that happy half a dozen times, I walked away much more comfortable with her future.
It takes you three years to get through college?
What online courses are you looking at. We’ve been mostly disappointed in the quality of online courses. Too many simply try to replicate the classroom and to the convenience of the teacher.
MIT has started putting its courses online, including lectures, notes, and even exams, which I believe some professors (or their assistants) will score and provide feedback on. For some courses they give a certificate of completion though of course no actual credit. Its all free and no registration required.
They have 10 yrs to get it right (for my family).
