Should I skip senior year and go straight to College?
There are some important things to think about regarding early enrollment in college. The first is finances, are you able to afford school now? The next is academics, do you think you will be academically competitive and have taken courses that are the requirements for college courses? If not, you might have to spend more time in college. Another is your age, if you are under 18 while in college there are some activities you will not be able to take part in, and will require your parents' signatures for trips etc. There is also the possibility that you will not be 21 at all in college, and it is illegal to drink alcohol while underage, even in college. This may not be a big deal to you, but its something to think about. Lastly, are you sure you want to attend this college? Is it possible you will change your mind? I would also get your parents and guidance counselor involved to see what they think. Another option if you are ready for college but going to wait until you graduate, is to take a few community college courses to test the waters.
