[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 509034, member: 1233"] Sounds like she is back on the right track. Lots of people do MUCH better in college when they are using their own $$ to pay for classes than when they are being helped with the cost. Retention studies done at the local 4 yr univ show that those who have invested their own hard earned cash into classes for at least 1-2 semesters (we don't have quarters) are FAR more likely to work hard to stay in school than those who have it all paid for by family or even by grants and scholarships and loans. Those are not seen as money they worked hard for, so it is easier to blow it off. My mom was on the retention study committee for a number of years and I earned extra $$ by typing the reports and entering the data from the study (It went on over a number of years.) [/QUOTE]
