College-going high schoolers

Question:
Are there any other high school students who are attending college?
Minnesota has a program where they will pay for students to test into (and get a certain grade level in) a tech college and go for free for their Junior and Senior years.
It's been a great semester, I'm really enjoying it - although it felt quite strange for awhile to be one of the youngest ones there...
Answer:
I'm taking several classes at a local college, because they're free for me and I can get my first semester of college out of the way. It's not much fun for me since I never see my high school friends and can't take any of the slack-off senior classes next year.
Answer:
that's the method that i finished my highschool. In Washington it's called "Running Start". I've got about 40% of a two year degree finished, but i dropped out because the money was too good.
Answer:
This is my senior year of high school and I'm taking a few classes at a community college. Sadly, Ohio's wacky rules make me pay for it myself but it's a heck of a lot cheaper per credit hour than where I'm going next year.
Answer:
Yeah! College for high-schoolers! yah... I did that this semester. That experience thoroughly convinced me that I have no aptitude for physics. *le sigh* Oh well. I haven't taken any others because I've got enough AP classes to keep me busy, plus it's a pain to drive back and forth... back and forth... back and forth... especially since there's a tricked out little flickery light down at the mini-airfield near the JC... man that thing's annoying. Power to all you guys who can stand going back and forth though!

Answer:
I have a good amount of college credits that I have accumulated throughout high school. There is some sort of partnership between the anatomy department of my high school and the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey.
Answer:
i did it when i was homeschooled during part of high school. its a great thing to do...usually the class' are easier than the high school class.
i know a lot of other people who also do that (some are in school, some homeschooled). my buddy got almost two years outta the way when he graduated HS by doing that. cool stuff.
Answer:
I took first semester college English while I was in high school, but that was it. I took the Advanced Placement test for Calculus but failed miserably, so I'm taking the class over now as a college student... at least it should be easy this time around.
