Summer classes or no?
Hey there, I'm just gonna cut to the point. I'm a freshman in college, and I was planning to enroll in some summer classes this summer. One of the classes I'm wanting to take is at a community college, so I'd be paying out of pocket. My situation is, is I'm unemployed (I have been to several interviews in the past year), have a few bills to pay, and my checking account is getting kind of low. I really just want to take this Calculus class this summer so I can be done with my degree's math requirements asap. Is it worth taking a risk with my money and signing up for that class? Or just wait for another summer? Thanks.

Maybe give some free advice about: Colleges & Universities?
Other than getting into a community college summer class, you can try some free online classes. If not for your main source of learning in summer, then something that can support you as you study.
The non-profit website Khanacademy is full of well explained videos, math exercises that reward you points, and even a public discussion under every lecture for your questions.
Other resources for Calculus could be the Youtube channel 3Blue1Brown that dedicates itself to teaching advanced math through simple geometric shapes. BetterExplained also allows intuitive concepts that don’t force you to memorize without understanding.
Lastly, you can look up the Youtube channel Crash Course for any of the major sciences associated with Calculus.
You’re welcome.

Ask about doing some pt work at the community college to take some cost off the class. One of my daughters had a friend who did some pt work at the local college and let them know your financial situation and that if you can get work there, you would sign up for the class. They may be able to work with you. Summer weather may have them short on help if college age students are preferring to have time out in the sun rather than working. Its worth a try.
