- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

Read the rubric! I'm at SNHU, so ymmv at other schools, but read the rubric. They grade to that, and it doesn't matter how exceptional your work is, if it doesn't meet the rubric, you're boned. If it's mediocre and meets the rubric, it's at least a passing grade. Other than that, utilize any extras your school offers. Snhu offers tutoring, both schedules and drop in, writing labs, all kind of academic help. If you're ever struggling, call your advisor and let them know. They can suggest things to help, or potentially even get you withdrawn from a class you know you won't pass.
Do you plan on going in person or online?
Good to know, thanks! I work 50-60 hours a week (12s so only 4/5 days a week) so I was planning to go online at a slower pace. But if I'm able to cut back my hours and still make ends meet I wouldn't mind doing some of my classes in person. Not sure how that all works, I've never been to school outside of getting my EMT license and that was almost a decade ago too
That's a heavy workload. Make sure you get some time in there for you, too. You deserve it.
If you're in the US, SNHU has been really awesome. Terms run 8 weeks, they don't do group projects, and there are tons of helpful things like the tutoring. So long as you can write a paper in APA or MLA (depending on path), and can follow instructions, you're golden. 8 weeks feels rushed compared to 16 weeks of brick and mortar schools, but honestly, it's about 5 hours per week per class for me. Two classes at a time is full time, but you can take 1 if you need, or 3 in your second year if your GPA is over 3.0.
Im actually planning to move to somewhere in New England in the next year or so, I'm thinking Connecticut atm. How do you like New Hampshire? You're making that university sound pretty nice ngl haha
I'm in Tennessee, actually. I go online. I really do like the school, though. And I know they have a brick and mortar in Manchester.
Very jealous of your move. I've wanted to move to Maine or Vermont since I was a kid, CT would be great, too. Let me know if you find something even moderately affordable! Lol
Vermont was my first choice but the entire state seems to have approximately 3 rentals available at any given time lol. CT is roughly on par with my home state, Florida. However I do know several people that are moving to Tennessee from here so it must be a helluva lot cheaper than here.
Idk about minimum wage is up there but it's $16 in CT and I'm fortunate enough to be married so even if the both of us are making minimum wage when we get up there, we'll still be able to make it work as long as we're full time. I hope you're able to make it out of TN! Check out central CT for cheaper towns. The Hartford area is fairly reasonable. I'm looking at New Britain in particular
