Hello all,

My school sent me an official acceptance letter today (a place I'm still weighing out). The odd thing is that they mentioned that class starts at the end of May! Is this normal?? I was expecting to have one last summer! I also have no idea how long it takes to get student loans, so I don't know if they'll come in time to get me started!

Thank goodness I didn't book that summer vacation like I had planned! 😀

What other details do you know about the "class(es)"..? Maybe it's to help orient people further or help people to adjust during the summer so that the school year isn't as difficult? Or maybe you have the option of going to class in the summer? Not sure... never heard of that.

My school gives students the *option* to start in the summer, but few people do it unless they're trying to fill a pre-req.
