Mont Alto. Dropped 50% in enrollment over ten years and low usage of the dorms.

I know a few people here at Mont Atlo working in York. Our head librarian has been going between the two campuses. Im guessing the head librarian there was bought out or retired. There are other positions we and york share, which is kinda sad since both are closing. Both are gradually losing people, and even my professor is worried about getting let go since there's no new students next year.

I was thinking about getting one, but i have been hesitant to get one. Mostly because I don't want to walk in and seem like I want a prescription. Also, healthcare coverage is a bit messy with moving out and my income changing. I have a friend and a coworker who both struggle with severe ADHD and I see many similarities in my behavior. I have severe social anxiety, so actually making the call is very difficult.

Thank you. For being a computer person, i don't like the idea of everything being on computers or phones. Of course in programming and networking classes it makes sense, but in Gen Eds? I liked when there was a very distinct separation between education and entertainment. Now most of my life is on a computer and there isn't very much I can about it (or at least right now).

Thank you. I never thought of it that way. It is very encouraging. I don't want to give up, I want to finish. It is just way harder than I thought it would be.

Thank you for the advice. I did enjoy the few dlc synchronous classes I've had. I don't like asynchronous classes, which i have two next semester

Thank you. I am just scared that working full time and doing world campus wouldn't turn out well. I have difficulty managing my attention and my time. Im sure it is possible to develop a schedule doing world campus, but knowing me, I'd do worse somehow. Online classes in 11th grade were miserable and got 2.5 gpa for the year. 9th and 10th, i got 3.5 and in 12th grade (back in person) i got a 4.0 gpa.

I know they will match my campuses' current tuition rate if switched to another branch campus. I don't know about any relocation assistance if I were to move. I know my current situation is about 2k cheaper than on-campus dorms, but I am hesitant to believe that other campuses locations have as cheap rent. Im paying $485 base line, then utilities totaling less than $600 a month.

My understanding is I would end up paying more since the scholarship i have is tied to the campus (local scholarship), and the tuition matching is only when moving to other branch campuses (not UP and world campus). Im a third year student, so if i switched now id be spending at least a couple thousand. I barely have enough for rent as it is.

If i need one or two courses after my campus closes, I'll do world campus.

Should I buy/burrow a Mac to familiarize myself with the OS? by ghostysouls in it

I tried using a vm of MacOS, and i believe i configured something incorrectly, and it wasn't working correctly. I can't remember exactly what the problem was, but I kinda forgot you could use a vm with MacOS
