[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teachers can be hired, classes added, online courses offered, etc. Housing is the issue. [/quote]

Online courses? Hell no [/quote]
You’ve not been to college in a while? Also, math emporium. [/quote]

Even high schools offer online courses. Hello, personal finance!

Maybe VT will start offering deferred enrollment or Spring admission.[/quote]
Florida State promotes a full 12 month study abroad for freshman. If I had an incoming VT freshman (non engineering) I’d be looking for something like that for a year. [/quote]

Oh, no.  Do not do that.  You have to pay so much money when you could have just taken a gap year and went abroad for 1/4 of the price.  I can not believe people fall for this. [/quote]

Just FYI - the Florida State program is a pretty good deal, at least for OOS students. If you do it, you can finish your degree at FSU for in-state tuition. [/quote]
Thanks for the info! I knew there was some financial bene when my kid looked into it but I couldn’t find anything when I just looked it up. Smart plan by FSU. [/quote]

Careful. It’s not a promise. “May qualify” with a 3.0 or better. Not saying it isn’t cool but there’s a lot of risk. [/quote]

You also have to start in May when most OOS haven't even graduated yet.  It is 3 full semesters.  Summer, Fall, and Spring.  You also have to pay $42,000 for the program and that does not include the 6 flight tickets you have to purchase for your child.  They do not house you in-between those semesters. You fly back and forth.  Interesting though, that is for sure.   [/quote]
