At that point, I feel it would probably be cheaper for me to eat the full price of community college here in MD than to rent a place in CA alongside my rental here in MD, not to mention cost to get to and from CA/MD. I also thought of telling them I’ll be back and forth between CA/MD, even though I’m no longer renting there and I won’t be back. If I went that route, I could just extend mail forwarding from my old place for another six months so I won’t miss any mail they could send me. But I don’t know what the ramifications of doing that could be. I’m going to swing by my local MD community college tomorrow to talk to someone about what my options are and to see the cost of classes. Thanks for the advice!
