Going To Be Married To An Air Force Man

Truthfully, you need to check with the state and college you choose. I personally believe you have to be a resident in the state for a certain period of time (over a year), otherwise no one would be charged out of state tuition. Is there a way you can continue your college education at your particular university online? I just graduated in December of 2003, and have now started a graduate program online and it has been wonderful for me. My enitre undergraduate career, I commuted (an hour) to college everyday. If your program offers an online program, you may want to go that route:) Good luck and best wishes to you.

Thanks for the advice. My college doesn`t have online courses. I am just worried b/c out of state tuition is about $553 per credit hour and don`t think my loans will cover it. I just want to marry him and he wants me to graduateso I can`t blame him later on for not graduating. I really want to start my life with him in about 9 months but don`t want to wait 1 1/2 since I won`t get to see him much at all. Should we go ahead and see what the other colleges say? or do you think we should wait?

In my opinion, college is extremely important, and a year and a half is such a short time in the grand scheme of things. I know lots of couples who were engaged for quite some time just for the sole reason of finishing college. The old cliche "If its meant to be" works well in this situation. I can only imagine how hard it would be for him to move away without you. But, then again, you really won`t have time to pine for him because you will be busy with classes:) With this technological age we live in, you will have the benefit of online chatting, and video conversations. I may be completely wrong here, but from your post, I can tell that finishing college is very important to you, and it should be....You have come this far! Besides, by switching colleges, you run the risk of credits not transferring, program variations, etc. Plus, you already know that the cost is something that you may not be able to swing. If you love him enough to marry him, then the love should be there when college is over. I don`t know your complete situation, and I am not trying to tell you that marrying him is wrong. I just hope you can make an informed decision:)

My husband`s in the Army and I`ve heard from others that if you move because of the military, you qualify for in-state tuition. You might want him to check with some advisors but this is information I`ve heard from other wives. Good luck
