Ok, I have a ton of questions and hopefully you can help me with at least a few of them. What is the average cost of a college freshman's 1st year? Can an adult male (32 yrs) get financial aid? If you have your GED, and no SAT scores, what test will you have to take if any? and can you get exempt from it, and how? What courses should you take? How long does it take to get 90 college hours? Can you do most classes online, or just certain ones? What all is required to get admitted into college? What do you basically have to do to get into college?? LOL...I know these are a lot of questions. I dont expect answers to all of them, but I am freaking out trying to get my husband some help about getting into college. I am so lost trying to figure out all of this. I went to cosmetology school at my local junior college right out of high school in 2002 and never had to do all the things he is having to do. Thanks for all the info, and any extra tips you can give me would be great!! God Bless!

I need to get 90 college hours as soon as possible. I have heard that it can take from 2-3 years to get these. Is there any way to get them quicker? If you go to school Fall, Summer I, Summer II and Spring semesters, can you get them faster? Also, are you allowed to go to both summer semesters? Or do they lap over one another? I know these may be dumb questions, but I dont know a lot about the whole college thing. Another thing too, are some courses worth more hours than others?? I dont have any prior college experience, so I couldn't start out in anything to advanced. But, what courses I take doesn't matter. I just have to have 90 college hours to be able to apply for a great job opportunity that is coming my way in the future. If I could have the hours in two years or less it would be perfect!! What classes do you think that I should take? Thanks for all your help! Have a great day!! God Bless!

My daughter had an IEP (Individualized Education Program) due to ADHD, Behavioral Disorder, Depression, Learning problems, etc...... Her HS was supposed to follow her IEP to a "T", but hasn't and she failed all but one of her classes her freshman year of HS.

Now, my husband and I are seeking to put her in a private school due to this reason. We understand that we can seek to have the local County School Board pay for her tuition since they failed to do their job appropriatly. Any suggestions on how to write this letter and not sound too condescending?

I'm English and I was taught to spell words like emphasise and realise with an s. I wonder why this is and whether it is a firm rule in British English. Something tells me it isn't - Colin Dexter in the Inspector Morse books uses Z.

Can anyone point me at a ruling or should I should spell them anyway I like.

There are several variations in the meaning of jihad. This is what the Quran says:

1) "Fight in the way of God those who fight for you, but do not begin hostilities; God does not like the aggressor" (2:190)

2) "Permission to fight is given ONLY TO THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN OPPRESSED... who have been driven from their homes for saying, "God is our Lord" "

In the book titled, "No God But God" by Reza Aslam, he states these verses were directed specifically at the Quraysh and their clandestine partisans in Yathrib.

This is the point where the view become misconstured and makes people believe they will fight anyone until they can convince them to convert. There is no such thing as a holy war because there can be no fight in the name of God.

ALL I AM ASKING IS IF YOU AGREE? Has Osama twisted the true meaning as a reason to take the lives of millions? Please keep the sarcasm to a minimum. Thanks for the respect.

My husband is 32 and going to take his GED test in July. I have been studying the practice books with him, but some of that stuff in there is really hard!! I graduated from high school when I was 17 in 2002, and I dont remember a LOT of what is in some of these books. So, on stuff that I have forgotten, or never knew I dont have much luck teaching him about it...LOL...I was just wondering if some of you might have taken the GED test and how hard you thought it was. He has been out of school for about 15 years now. Do you think he has a good shot at passing it?? He is very strong in his math skills, but weaker in English/Writing. Thanks for all your answers!! God Bless!
