Should I move or stay and finish college?
F/18
Alright so I'm married and my husband is in the Navy. I won't be able to move with him until May. By then I'll only have about 5 more classes to take to finish my Associate's. But it's been really hard with him gone. We've been married for about 3 months and I've seen him once. I know most people would say to stay and finish but it just sucks. The thing with college is I have a scholarship that pays 3/4 of my classes but that last semester I'll be short about 2 hours so I won't be able to qualify for it. It's just staying till next December seems so far away. I love him so much that I just want to be with him. And I knew what I was getting into when I married him. I just want someone's opinion on the matter and what I should do. Thanks so much!

I am going to suggest you go and talk with your husbands recruiter or any Navy recruiter close to you.
As a dependant of an active duty military person you may qualify for the same on base educational opportunities available to the military personnel themselves. At worst they may be available to you at a greatly reduced price.
If not there will be a community college close to wherever you husband is stationed. Many of these Community Colleges are quite adept at handling situations such as yours and accepting transfer credits. As a military dependant you also receive instate tuition fees; as well as eligibility for any grants or financial assistance available through the colleges finance office.
My advice: Go be with your husband. Take advantage of what may be available to you on base or from the local community.
One other thing. If you would please tell your husband I send my thanks for serving.

Hi there,
Let me ask you a couple questions:
1) How much money would you actually have to pay if you transferred your credits to a school where your husband is? For the sake of argument, we will just say $1,000
2) If somebody walked up to you on the street and said: "For $1,000 I can make sure you are in bed this very night with your husband who you haven't seen in so long." Would you do it?
If you answered yes, that being with the one you love is more important than money, then you have your answer.
If your answer is that money is more important than being with your husband... well that is pretty sad, isn't it?
Marriage is about making decisions together. So, what does he think about this? Have you asked yet? I would be concerned if he wanted you to stay away longer to save a few bucks.
Good luck... whatever you decide.
