    ​@@max1mlf859 Pregunta al principio del semestre si puedes tener una copia física o si necesitas la versión virtual también. Ahorra chequeando libros en Amazon y Book Viking. En un lugar decente, $350-400 al mes en alquiler con roommates y gastaba $50 a la semana en víveres. Ahora estoy casado y mis gastos son diferentes, pero así es si estás soltero.

    Hi! Thank you so much for this video, this is incredibly useful information. I have a couple more questions, because my situation is pretty messy in this regard. I am a citizen of Ukraine, currently living under a special status in Poland. I'm a student at a university here in Gdansk (first year, almost second semester, the course is in English) and at BYU-Pathway Worldwide (just started PC103). I want to transfer from my Polish university (where I'm studying Criminology and Criminal Justice) to a similar course in the on-campus BYU. Here are my questions: 1. Does the fact that I'm a student at BYU-Pathway change the application process in any way? Do I still need to translate my HS certificate/grades? Do I still need to take TOEFL/any other English exam? 2. Do my credits from my Polish university count for anything? How do I "use" them? 3. Should I finish BYU-Pathway first, or it doesn't matter? 4. Is there any help available for Ukrainians looking to apply? Thank you in advance, and if you don't know the answers to these questions I'd really appreciate if you referred me to someone who might.

    Hello, it's been four months, but here are some answers and I hope they are useful in some way. 1. If you complete Pathway, you do not need to transcript your HS certificates, however you need to take the TOEFL or other English test. 2. That entirely depends on the university, they might accept them or not, the best wayto find out it would be contacting them. 3. I would recommend you to finish it so you do not have to go trough the hassle of translating your HS certificates, and getting other documentation. 4. As far as I know, no but I might be wrong.

    I started out with Pathway back in 2015. It was a great way to become familiar with the online learning platform while I was in Peru. It can also help you get used to college-level classes in English if it's not your first language. Additionally, you qualify for lower tuition if you continue to study at BYU-I online.
