She graduated HS early and enrolled a semester early. Attending classes next semester will give her 7 semesters not counting a class taken each summer. Not everyone needs 4-5 years to graduate college, bruh.[/quote]

It’s possible but unbelievably demanding for a student athlete at that level.

She was home schooled and took college level courses. So she received some credit for that. It takes a minimum of 120 credits to graduate. So let’s do the math.

In order to obtain a degree in 3 years. One must take a full case load of 18 credits per semester. That will give the student 36 credits a year.

36 credits x 3 years is 108.

The student is still missing 14 credits.  The 14 credits could have been obtained from a combination or the early enrollment and HS AP classes

So is it possible? Yea

However, its extremely extremely demanding to be a student athlete taking 18 credits a semester.

Either way, doesn’t effect me one bit. Best of luck to her. Hope it works out. [/quote]

I think your math is incorrect. 120-108 = 12, which is basically four courses.
Many students take 1-2 courses during summers...[/quote]

18 credits a semester x two semesters is 36 credits (That’s 6 classes a semester)

36 credits a year x 3 years is 108.

Yes - summer school, if taken, can helps reduce the case load

However you split it, it’s mentally and physically demanding beyond belief. There is no room for anything else[/quote]

Yep. That’s why my kid is not pursuing college soccer. She wants to enjoy her time in college and focus on academics. Could she have gotten some money?  Maybe. Can she get some via other scholarship (non-athletic) paths?  Yes, probably.  She’ll play club ball and get to have a normal college life. Her choice. I would have loved to watch her play in college, but it’s not about me or my wallet. Some love it, many don’t. Your kid should think deeply about this prior to committing to play college ball. Then again, they could try it for a year then quit. There’s always someone waiting to take their spot. [/quote]
