What would be some reasons to go to collage now rather than waiting a year?

Well if you wait a year you lose a lot of your scholarship opportunities that you will have right now, as a senior coming out of high school. Unless you have college already payed for that is the biggest reason. Otherwise it reallly doesnt matter if you decide to wait a year, except  you might need to take a refresher course.

A lot of people attend a community college to get their general education classes out of the way first.  It's cheaper, and if your grades aren't the greatest, it's easier to get into.\n\nAlso, if going to a university frightens you, a community college can be a good "warmup" for college.\n\nBe sure to do some research into transferring from the community college you're thinking of and the university you want to someday attend.  Make sure you take classes that transfer and fulfill requirements.  That'll save you having to take a lot of classes over again.

Excellent  grades.  You could get in a elite college if you maintain those types of grades.  Well done high school\nstudent!

It's summer and school is out now so why not give it a trial run with your dad. Go spend the summer with him, check out the school where you would go if you moved and give yourself a real chance to see what all the changes would be like. If when you get closer to the end of summer you feel like you'd like to give it a little more time and actually attend the school there then give it the first semester to get an even better feel for those who would be your classmates and friends if you moved. It's always hard when we have to make choices but what's important is that we do so with all the knowledge we can get in order to make the best possible choice. In your case I think this is more about what's going to ultimately be best for you and enhance your life. Your parents are both loving and understanding and obviously want these things for you too.\n\nBest of Luck!!

I am a motivated education seeker that is why it would be an honor to attend this colledge. My education is very important to me, and I would love to be able to fulfill my life with knowledge from attending this school. My goals are to further my education, for my self, for the respect of others and to make my family proud.

I'm not sure I agree with the first answer.  \n\nCommunity colleges are places where you get two years worth of classes.  For whatever reason (school mission, funding, etc.), they don't issue 4-year degrees.\n\nTherefore, some people don't see them as a 'real' college.'  But their hours transfer to four year colleges, the classes give you a good start if it's your first time doing work at a college level.\n\nThe BIG upside for students is that they're usually much cheaper than other public 4-year colleges and definitely cheaper than private schools.    \n\nI have plenty of friends who got an Ivy League education that STILL went to community colleges in the summer so they could finish their degree's sooner.

If you really want to go, and you're going for the right reasons (the top education, not to get away from parents), then make plans to fund your education on your own.  Find out about loans, grants and scholarships.  If you don't get help from your parents, you may have a good chance at grants and scholarships.  \n\nThis is about you becoming a full person.  Pursuing life, independently and for good reasons, is a good way to grow as a person. It's also a good reason in itself to try.

It is never too late to get into college. I want back to school 6 years after high school. Keep your goal it will pay off in the end

I went to ITT, and for me it was great, if you want to skip all the B.S courses and just learn about what you are going to do I say its better. After I finished school I meant a lot of people that had collage degree’s and they may have known more of the theory then I did, but I could trouble shoot & fix the problem allot quicker and easier then they could.

Don't let the admissions person bully you around. It's all your decision. Tell this person straight up that you are going to wait.\n\nThat said I fully support going back to school! I understand if you're worried about the money though. Make sure you do start classes, sooner or later!

Boy, some answers sure are mean!\n\nCongratulations on graduating!\n\nIf you did not fill out any applications then you should get started now. You won't make it in time for Fall semester, but you are ahead of the game for the next year.  That gives you some time to really investigate schools and decide your major. Lucky you!\n\nIf you are in a hurry to get started, you can go to your local community college and try to take some of the basics that will transfer on to your University of choice.\n\nGoing to college helps you to grow in so many ways, and helps to secure a decent future. It's a great idea, so don't let anyone slow you down or get in your way!

Go back to college and do your GCSE's. If it's what you really want the option is there for you!

With your GPA, college would be a wonderful choice for you, and you could qualify for several scholarships.  That would be my recommendation.
