I got my application to BCCC in the mail yesterday. Filled it out yesterday too. It took me roughly 3 minutes.

So weird from when I was filling out applications in high school. I applied to three schools- Vanderbilt University, University of Alabama (main campus) and of course Southern Methodist. All of them had applications that were what...7? 8? pages or more.

I faxed in a request for my high school transcript last week. Why on earth can I not get a copy sent directly to me? Am I not allowed to know what's there? (Not that I don't really know.)

I know. BCCC is a community college. I'm not knocking it. As long as they're gonna teach me what I want to know, hey, whatever gets the job done. It's just weird.

I'm trying to figure out what I want to do here. They have certificate, but not degree, programs for network specialist and web development. They have a degree program in telecommunications.

Somehow or other, I also want to take some humanities/language/art type classes.

I actually got an AA degree from their Catonsville campus (before it was all one unified conglomerate called BCCC), and it was pretty good. My degree was just in 'general studies' there (which I used to fulfill basic requirements of a BA at another college), but I sampled arts, language, humanities, history and other classes, and really enjoyed them. The astronomy class rocked, because they have a planetarium.

They don't send it to you because of the concern that you could manipulate the data and forward it on.
