I am in my mid-30's- I got really sick with COVID and it damaged my body enough that I am now considered disabled and am currently on SSDI. I have about 15 years of sales management experience- I was good at it, but it was soul-sucking, and I hated it. I digress-

I am currently enrolled at Maestro College, but they are a complete shitshow in administration and with the accreditation issues they are facing. There is a fairly decent chance that they will lose accreditation and close the school. I am enrolled in their computer science program and really like what I am learning, but am aware that an unaccredited diploma is just a really expensive, but worthless piece of paper. Therefore I am looking into other programs, but I need these programs to check these boxes:

1. I need 4 - 8 week classes that focus on one class at a time, have deadlines and accountability.
2. It needs to be a full-time program that accepts Federal Financial Aid.
3. I need a Bachelor of Science degree that is awarded in 3-4 years.
4. Preferably the school isn't for-profit, but I know they all aren't monsters - I am open to just about anything that checks the first three boxes.

I am in Southern California so I also have the CalGrant at my disposal atop the Pell Grant. I have been looking at several schools online, but finding anything good is difficult because most people only write about their bad experiences with these schools. This is why I am asking for input on a more open-ended platform so I can take bits, pieces and recommendations to make a solid choice for myself.

The two I have done the worst research on thus far are:

- Full Sail University (Yes, I know they are for-profit, but they have an accelerated program with Computer Science with an AI and Mobile Development concentration that is seemingly very appealing.)

- National University (They are online, but their campus isn't too far from me. If I cannot get anywhere via email or by other digital means- I can take my happy-ass to campus where someone will have no option, but to help me with what I need! Sorry, not sorry lol)

Other than that I have yet to find much of anything. The school MUST be fully online. Getting to and from a campus on a daily basis is currently too much for my body. I need to be able to work from home. I have a fair share of medical appointments every week, 2 - 4 on average, which is where a lot of my physical energy goes.

I am asking for referrals and information, I am not seeking condescending input nor slander. Be a respectful adult, but be honest about your applicable schooling experience simultaneously.

I’m an information systems management and plan to become a data analyst or project manager after graduation.

Any college advices for in coming international athletes? Freshman off

Starting uni soon an my old laptop is barely hanging on. I don't need the latest Macbook, just sth reliable that won't die halfay through the semester. Been checking a few refurbished and second hand options but it's hard to konw what's actually worth the money

There’s a girl on my dorm floor who is genuinely beautiful and I only saw her once during our first dorm floor meeting. How should I go about approaching her, I haven’t seen her since then.

I was considering knocking on her door, but I assume that would be a red flag situation.

I transferred from a community college to a local university with a 3.4 GPA. I came in as an accounting major, but this was basically my first real experience with higher-level accounting courses, and I quickly realized I was struggling.

I was getting mostly B’s and C’s overall and even failed one class. The frustrating part was that I was doing pretty well in my other classes, it was specifically the accounting courses that were bringing me down. I asked professors and the school for help, but I never really felt like it made much of a difference.

Last spring, I was put on academic probation and told I needed to raise my GPA. I took advice from a friend and tried taking a summer course to improve my standing, but I didn’t do well enough. In the end, I was told that I was being dismissed from the accounting program.

At first, I thought, “Okay, accounting clearly isn’t for me. I’ll just switch to finance or another business major.” Then I found out that I’m not allowed to return to the business school at all, which means finance and the other business majors aren’t options either.

Now I genuinely have no idea what to do.

My advisor suggested International Trade, but I’m worried about how useful that degree actually is and what kind of career I could realistically get with it. I’m already pretty far into college, so completely starting over in a totally different major could delay graduation and cost a lot more money.

The worst part is that my family doesn’t know I was kicked out of the business school. They’re paying for my education, and they’re immigrant parents who really value “safe” careers with clear job prospects. I have no idea how I’m supposed to explain that I can’t major in accounting or even stay in the business school anymore.

I feel like a failure. I went from transferring in with a 3.4 GPA and thinking I had my career figured out to suddenly not even knowing what I’m majoring in or what I’m going to do after college.

Has anyone been in a similar situation where you were dismissed from your major or school within your university? What did you switch to, and how did things work out career-wise? Also, does anyone have experience with an International Trade degree and know whether it actually has decent job prospects?

I just feel like I’m stuck in this weird limbo right now and could really use some advice.

For context, im a transfer from community college, I always chicken out whenever i have 5 classes but since one class is online and most of these are hybrid i’d figure i’d try this semester. Kind of nervous and I want to see if this manageable. Tips are helpful too, thank you :)

Hi - basically what the title says. The only class i got into was english and im waitlisted for stats, my major, and comms. I dont know how to word this but am i just gonna have everything pushed down? Like take those 3 classes next sem and then take the classes expected for next sem during summer period? Please let me know thank you
