interesting info on TESC website

This is interesting, I would have thought that more students at the Big 3 would be largely "testing out" of their degrees. I myself though came in with some college courses and took 1 at TESC, but "tested out" of the rest. Pity that more people don't know of this option. Lord knows it was an eye-opener to me when I discovered IC back in 2009. I only wish I had learned of it sooner!

UPDATE: Here are some students I wish would learn more about the Big 3 and IC...

"Each showed the ability to do college work, even excel at it. But the need to earn money brought one set of strains, campus alienation brought others, and ties to boyfriends not in school added complications. With little guidance from family or school officials, college became a leap that they braved without a safety net.

The story of their lost footing is also the story of something larger — the growing role that education plays in preserving class divisions. Poor students have long trailed affluent peers in school performance, but from grade-school tests to college completion, the gaps are growing. With school success and earning prospects ever more entwined, the consequences carry far: education, a force meant to erode class barriers, appears to be fortifying them."
