“Classes at Drake are a lot easier to transfer over for college credit, so when I get to college regardless of where I am, its going to be a lot easier to finish it sooner, which means paying for less years of college. I also really appreciate the environment that Drake creates because I feel like a lot of the responsibility for learning is on me, which is really different from a lot of high school classes. Now I feel a lot more prepared for when I go to college. A lot of my friends last year were seniors, so I’m hearing them talk about college experiences, and they have this “Oh crap” moment “This is really different”, so I’m really glad to get this experience now, before I go on.”
