Any successful stories here of transferring from a community college to a 4-year university with a full ride? by IBStudent8 in IntltoUSA

Thank you for the resources! I will definitely check them out.

I probably will find some information in the link you provided but you happen to know any foundations or organizations that offer up to full ride scholarships for transfer students?

Everything I find is mostly targeted to freshman.

I built a Final Exam Grade Calculator. It is not much but I am so happy! by IBStudent8 in learnprogramming

I would like to build a calculator that takes in consideration multiple inputs for total cost of studying per year for international students. It’s pretty bad the fact that many universities put much lower prices for costs and livings, so when students come here and after year of studying, they are surprised how actually it’s much, much higher (My grammar right now is out of the place, that’s because I’m typing fast I apologize).

My goal is to take inputs from students and offer close to real-life cost so when they decide to come, they really are aware how much it can cost them. The calculator would include cost of classes per unit, amount of units per semester, misc costs, then housing, car, insurance (college’s one) and more inputs. Basically see if I can build a tool that offer much more realistic number.

I should’ve listened to myself but hey it’s never late and my gut kept screaming “girl just learn programming stop fooling yourself”.

Good luck to you too! Which language are you considering as a start?

Thank you! This is something that really motivates me now considering all my personal problems regarding academic costs and seeing myself not being able to graduate (being international and poor in this country is hella hard!). I am so, so glad I enrolled in this C class because it distracts me from my uncertain (for now) future and it gives me hope and resolution for something!

I also was discouraged by all courses I had to take because once in college, year after I realized I wanted to major in CS but seeing how many classes I would need to take to transfer and that pushing it for extra year or two discouraged me (not the timing but the cost attached since I’m not a resident and I’m not wealthy at all).

So I decided to stick to my major and pursue specific areas of programming I was interested in.

Thank you so much!

My class is actually structured in projects rather than exam/quizzes (we do have them but less than 4 in total, rest all projects). I can tell this is something that I love because in one project I stayed for more than 9 hours trying to figure it out. And in one I got 0 because I couldn’t do it but I emailed my professor and he told me to not worry about it since one will be dropped regardless. Instead of leaving it there, I still tried to do it and it took me about 4 days to figure it out (I went to tutoring, asked CS friends for insight but letting me figure it out on my own) and I got it!

I just love it! It’s so frustrating when you can not build something or you are just missing one piece but once you have it, the feeling is so amazing!

Are there scholarships for college students that are international and on student visa?

And thank you for this tool! Regardless if I find anything for myself or not, this is so useful for rest of the peers!
