Hey guys!
So, have you ever tried to apply for a community college where you moved to, and realized you weren't technically a "resident"? Have you ever tried to apply to the place where you USED to live, and realize you're not a resident their either?....That was me today, according to community colleges, I live nowhere. The trick with NC residency is that you MUST live in the state for at LEAST a year, but in Wheaton, once you move, you are NOT a resident there anymore...and thus began my never ending struggle to register for classes at a community college. I finally decided this morning that it would be cheaper to go to COD(The community college in Wheaton), and then transfer to Caldwell next year. So, as I was trying in vain to register for classes, I discovered another problem. Apparently, COD isn't very accommodating to distance students, because for 95% of their online classes, you have to take a placement test...which can ONLY be administered at COD...LUCKY ME! Anyways, once I finally figured out what the problem was, I was able to call the admissions department over there, and they told me that if I emailed them my ACT scores, then I could be waived out of taking the practice test. After working on trying to do this for 5 hours, it was SUCH a relief for me to hear that, but at the same time, it was incredibly frustrating, because it WAS a simple solution, and I had spent 5 hours trying to figure it out. At the end of the day though, I was able to apply for BOTH of the classes that I knew would transfer to Caldwell, and then onto a bigger university, eventually, which made me very happy. It's the little things in life, right?
<3 Always,
Rose
