@condivi That's the answer I was hoping for! Thanks a bunch.

@betsy303 Thanks so much for your reply! I'm in a tricky spot because I came to this decision a little late in the game. Unfortunately, cost is a huge issue, so I'm hoping that I'll be able to independently compensate for those important things that I lack. To be clear, I'm also applying to MA programs, I'm just aware that there's little to no funding available and that I might not be able to attend. Thanks again!

Hi! I'm applying to direct entry PhD programs this December. Considering my French is tres pathétique, I'm planning on taking a language course this fall. My options are the local community college and a decent university down the road, the former obviously being the less expensive of the two. I know which my wallet would prefer, and I'm aware of, in modern parlance, how bourgeois I'm about to seem... but for something as basic as an introductory language course, on paper, does the school matter? Many thanks!
