The ethical choice you'll have to face with the course enrollment approach is that you're not only utilizing resources from a school (if it's a public university, money that's extremely limited and partly taxpayer funded), but you're also using up a slot for a course potentially needed by a legitimate student.</font>

being a student, I feel like I have to add my $0.02:

yes, although community college courses are cheap enough, money is still money. any sort of unnecessary financial burden won't help

but what really bothers us is what channa said, taking up a potential slot. every semester when it comes to registration time, it is already frustrating enough fighting to get into class with other students. I beg you to PLEASE don't register for fun and drop later, and screw us out of our classes. What may be only 100 miles for you, could mean an extra year of school for us (yes, if we don't make it into that a certain required class, and that class is only offered one semester a year, we have to wait for a whole bloody year). many of us have our schedule carefully planned. any disruption can mean a massive cluster**** for us


PLEASE, if you can stomech cheating other merchants, i don't approve but i'm not here to lecture you on morality, but I BEG you don't **** with the schools. It is bad enough that we have enough to worry about as students

Thank you
