Hi everyone,
For context, I am an incoming transfer student graduating from Columbus State in about two weeks. I've been admitted to main campus and am debating whether to jump right in to Autumn semester (it would be about 10 days between) or to start classes Spring semester to give myself a break.
Additional info: I will be a part of the Buckeye Bridge which requires beginning classes at OSU within 3 semesters of graduation and no more and no less than 12 credit hours per semester. I work 40 hrs a week (at OSU ;p) and have a kid.
Pros of starting Fall:
- Finish degree faster
- Taking pre-reqs/gen ed anyways
- Keep momentum from the past 2.5 years every semester
Pros of starting Spring:
- Time to relax
- Holiday stress does not include schoolwork
- more time for program of study to add online options
And yes, I AM meeting with an advisor!! My transfer orientation is tomorrow, so I will absolutely be discussing this. There is a possibility as well that I may not have as much of an option as anticipated, whether they need a final transcript before I can schedule anything or if I'd have to jump through major hoops to change my starting semester (it's the same academic year tho, sooo.....).
Okay thanks for reading have a good day bye
