[quote=Anonymous]Some ideas to cut a year or even a semester from college, which can be substantial savings: If they’re looking at state schools, look at which APs or even CLEPs they give credit for. (For example, it may be possible to sit for a CLEP foreign language test and get credit. Or it may be better to take AP U.S. History instead of AP Gvt.) Consider dual enrollment while student is still in high school. You can pick guaranteed transfer classes for the state school. One of my kids took 6 cc credits during a summer and it was quite helpful. If your student is military minded, consider the service academies. You can always have your child start at a community college and transfer to the 4 year school. Kids can work in high school and college to pay their expenses. Also, don’t get them a car - the insurance and car payment can really add up. [/quote]
