Changing schools; where to go?

[ReyMysterioso]

It might be possible to do UMPI cheaper than the residency waiver - but you're looking at taking ANOTHER ten classes in residency there and trying to cram them through in one or two terms. The burden of work may have a higher personal cost than the residency waiver fee depending on how much you value your time/sanity.

If the cost is a really big obstacle, and you're not opposed to doing so, perhaps you could raise some of the money with a Gofundme or other crowd-funding platform and pitch it to your network of friends/family/community members as "Help Amberwalk get over the last hump and fulfill their college dream!" You might be surprised who is rooting for you and willing to chip in. You'll never know who out there is waiting for an opportunity to help someone unless you ask. But just don't post it on the board... I suspect there are rules against solicitation.
