I second that. I applied to both, it really helped me decide. One last thing, sometimes, the amount they give you shouldn't be your only deciding factor- but rather HOW you'll get your remaining credits is a factor too. For example, at TESC, I could use anything 200 level or higher for my "major" but not EC-- those needed to be 300/400 level. At TESC, there are many CLEPs and DSSTs that count at 200 level, so this was really great for me since I wanted to use CLEPs as much as possible (to save $). I also used CLEP English Comp. Also, will the school have classes in the major you seek? Don't assume that they do- for example- if you wanted to enroll in Hotel Restaurant Management at TESC, you would have to take these classes elsewhere- even though they offer the major. There is a lot to consider- but either one will do the job- good luck in finding the perfect fit!
