I only need three more classes to graduate (11 credits). I need 12 credits to be a full time student, but I don't want to waste money if I don't have to. Will schools look down on this? 🙁

No! My last semester I remember I had only 8 credits of classes, but worked in research at the same time. No questions were asked in any of the interviews nor was it looked down upon. So, no worries.

Short answer is no. Many pod students take a year or two or five plus completely off from school and work a job before deciding to go back to school so you won't be a red flag at all.

Just a side note though, and forgive me if I'm overstepping here, but make sure it will actually save you money to go part time w/ 11 hours in a semester if you haven't already. At my undergrad you actually saved money taking an extra credit and getting to 12 hrs as compared to taking more than 10 and paying by the hour, depending on what other factors there were.
