Education & Reference - 24 May 2007

Hi, I seem to have a bit of a dilemma going on. I recently applied to UIC for summer session (to get some credit and transfer back to my original institution. Taking Chemistry btw) but i didn't realize how expensive it was. Not to mention that i also feel like i am not going to be able to wake up early (class starts at 9 sharp) and find parking space. From my house to UIC, it's about 40 minutes but since my class starts in the morning, the traffic is just overwhelming. Just yesterday I took my placement test and got in but due to the the fact that i'm still worried about getting there and the tuition, I've considered applying to a community college, Harper for instance. I'm wondering what I should do and will graduate schools look down on me If I choose to attend a summer course at Harper? I would really appreciate it if I recieved postive comments. Thanks.

I currently play a Tenor Saxophone and I'm starting next year in my High School's 9th grade band. I want to try all saxophones from the small ones like Soprillo and Soprano to the big ones like the Baritone Sax. As of now, I want to switch to Alto Sax and stay with it throughout high school. My teachers tell me that I should work more on my Tenor Sax and they all say that I have a nice tone and that I'm skilled at it. Is it really a good idea to switch?

I am looking to increase my income thru higher education. I live paycheck to paycheck and desire financial independence. I believe studies in risk management, insurance and finance will open a world of opportunities. I have googled grants in many different aspects...... only to be flooded with a variety of options. I am looking for an absolute resource that is in place thru the government for women like me. If you have any information regarding solid grant options for education, business and/or real estate investments for african american women or women in general, please forward me your information. Thanks for any help you may lend to the matter?

Best regards,

Ok, I'm going to Kent State-Ashtabula, one of the regional campuses of Kent State University. I was looking at the tuition/fees page, under the regional campuses 06-07(don't have 07-08 up yet) tuition totals. Then, it says, undergrad resident lower division, then it has a list. Then it says undergrad non-resident lower division and it gives the totals for each. Now, I live in Ashtabula, and because this is a regional campus, they don't offer room/board. So how do I know if I'm a resident or not? Are you a resident then if you are from that city or state? Here is the page... http://www.kent.edu/bursar/Fall-2006-Tuition-and-Fees.cfm ... its the regional campuses remember. Tell me whether I'd fall under a resident or non-resident, I'm thinking I'm right with me being resident, but I just want to make sure. Thanks ahead of time
