Good to know, thanks! I work 50-60 hours a week (12s so only 4/5 days a week) so I was planning to go online at a slower pace. But if I'm able to cut back my hours and still make ends meet I wouldn't mind doing some of my classes in person. Not sure how that all works, I've never been to school outside of getting my EMT license and that was almost a decade ago too

That's a heavy workload. Make sure you get some time in there for you, too. You deserve it.

If you're in the US, SNHU has been really awesome. Terms run 8 weeks, they don't do group projects, and there are tons of helpful things like the tutoring. So long as you can write a paper in APA or MLA (depending on path), and can follow instructions, you're golden. 8 weeks feels rushed compared to 16 weeks of brick and mortar schools, but honestly, it's about 5 hours per week per class for me. Two classes at a time is full time, but you can take 1 if you need, or 3 in your second year if your GPA is over 3.0.

Im actually planning to move to somewhere in New England in the next year or so, I'm thinking Connecticut atm. How do you like New Hampshire? You're making that university sound pretty nice ngl haha

I'm in Tennessee, actually. I go online. I really do like the school, though. And I know they have a brick and mortar in Manchester.

Very jealous of your move. I've wanted to move to Maine or Vermont since I was a kid, CT would be great, too. Let me know if you find something even moderately affordable! Lol

Vermont was my first choice but the entire state seems to have approximately 3 rentals available at any given time lol. CT is roughly on par with my home state, Florida. However I do know several people that are moving to Tennessee from here so it must be a helluva lot cheaper than here.

Idk about minimum wage is up there but it's $16 in CT and I'm fortunate enough to be married so even if the both of us are making minimum wage when we get up there, we'll still be able to make it work as long as we're full time. I hope you're able to make it out of TN! Check out central CT for cheaper towns. The Hartford area is fairly reasonable. I'm looking at New Britain in particular
