There's no point trying to "make" your credits fit where they won't. And there's no point getting a degree you don't want if you already know you can get something else for the same price, even if you have to start over.
I mostly agree with that, but it also depends on how many credits we're talking about. In my opinion, if you've earned more than 60 credits, it may be worthwhile to just finish the NA degree (whether that is at the original school or another NA college) rather than having to start over from scratch. But then again, I lost 10 credits and a couple converted from UL to LL when I was getting my degree and I didn't take it that well. But wasting time is one of my hot buttons... my biggest one in fact.
Of course, I also assume that if you're that far down the rabbit hole, the NA vs RA argument probably doesn't matter too much.
Plus one can still potentially use an NA degree to get into some RA masters programs.
Working on: Debating whether I want to pursue a doctoral program or maybe another master's degree in 2022-23
