Possible Concerns about Participating When you and your parents discuss Running Start, talk about your maturity level. Sometimes students are academically ready, but they become overwhelmed with the independence and the speed of college classes. In those cases, they would benefit from remaining in high school classes. Social experiences at Green River will not be the same as those at the high school. The social network is different, and you will interact with people from a variety of backgrounds and experiences as well as age groups.
Green River is a community college aimed at educating adults.
Contemporary issues of our society will be actively discussed in our classrooms. The content of our classes will not be censored for our younger students. Your high school determines your eligibility to be involved in high school activities. Being away from your high school might mean that you are out of the information loop for some things, such as activity requirements or scholarship application deadlines. You will be responsible for your own transportation.
