Chauncey Williama: If you want to stay home and earn college credits, you would have to be a student of an online college. Be aware; there's a stigma to getting a diploma from an online college. A lot of people (including employers) might feel that a diploma from a "real college" is better than a diploma from an online school.Its up to you in the end. Either way; I still l recommend continuing your education....Show more
Abel Adger: You can take classes at LSU for about $500 each plus the cost of books. Your local community college probably offers online classes which should be cheaper. Another options would be to CLEP some subjects. CLEPing would be the cheapest route. Here's a free study guide for CLEPing US History. The site also offers more free study guides for other subjects. http://clepprep.tripod.com/ushistoryiclepexam/Some people CLEP most of their classes and then get their diploma at one of the "Big Three" colleges (Thomas Edison State, Charter O! ak State, Excelsior). It's possible to get a bachelors degree in just a few years, at a fraction of the price, going this route....Show more
Robin Weelborg: A lot of people home school at the college level. In fact, its cool when you are an adult and can basically learn anything whenever you want. Sometimes if you have a great job, you can even get paid to learn new things. Unfortunately, once you are an adult, its really hard to get credit for learning in general. It seems really unfair, doesn't it? I just finished a book about wolves- it took me like 2 weeks to finish it and then I got no credit for it at all. It was kind of interesting, though. I did go to an actual college, and it was a lot more fun than staying at home and learning (like for an online class). You get to eat dinner with your friends and stay up all night if you want. Once I saw this movie where people ordered pizza in the middle of a college class. try doing THAT at home. Ha, ha! I wou! ld totally try college instead of home schooling. You could s! till wear your pajamas to class and get college credit!...Show more
Marcellus Exler: That would basically be taking the online college route
Sheldon Lally: Home schooling is for people of compulsory school age (usually between 5 or 6 and 16-18, depending on where you live), when the parents take full responsibility for their children's education rather than sending them to school. But as you're not of compulsory school age, there are no legal requirements for you to be educated, so you can do whatever you wish. There are online universities such as the Open University where you can learn at home. But it would be your responsibilty, not that of your parents....Show more
Christopher Calcano: ur not gonna get a teacher to come out to your home for college courses..buy u can take online classes,,but seriously if your gonna go to college. go to college. online courses are to demanding.
Torrie Weissenbach: There are many colleges and universities, both pu! blic and private, that offer online classes. The cost depends on the institution. To get official credit, you'll have to pay for the classes. One word of caution: avoid "for profit" colleges like the plague. They tend to be both very expensive, and often try to hook you into expensive loans. Look for non-profit status. Private colleges can be not for profit, so ask specifically. The biggest disadvantage to online education at that level is that it doesn't allow you to make many contacts or network as easily. That's often the best way to get a job. You know that saying about the "old boy's network"? There's still truth in that. The name of the college isn't important to a point; if it's a diploma mill, employers are going to put your resume in the circular file. Look for a decent reputation....Show more
Rhett Kaines: Home schooling may not be as expensive as private colleges , but it is not free either. If you are not interested in colleges you can take priv! ate education by taking home tutions.
