What are my best options for college?

You can go part time, or full time. And you'll be surprised at the number of "older" students you see in your classes! In fact, some schools offer special programs specifically for older students. It may be worth it to ask about them when you call the admissions office.\n\nMost students pay for their education through a combination of loans and school given, need-based aid. You'll fill out a form called a FAFSA (you can google this), which is sent to the schools you're applying to. They use it to calculate your aid.\n\nI highly recommend that you go to a reputable, brick and mortar campus. Most employers frown on the online programs. Yes, there are some reputable online programs (those tied to real, brick and mortar campuses), but online schools are remarkably expensive. With a 14 month old at home, cost must be a factor, so I don't recommend an online program for you unless you absolutely, positively can not attend classes in person.\n\nIf you attend a bachelor's degree granting school, you can save money, and get a great education, by attending your local state school. As an in-state student, you're already paying lower tuition.  This may be an option for you, and you can start there.  \n\nHowever, many students of your age chose to attend a school that will grant them an Associates Degree after two years of study. They then go on for their Bachelors Degree, if they feel it is necessary. \n\nThe best place to get an Associates is at your local community college. They are amazingly cheap, you don't have to take any sort of test to get in, and the education offered is a fantastic value.\n\nIf you chose to go back to school, and your goal is to make more money than you are now, try to major in something career-focused - something that, once you graduate, you can get a job in that field without needing additional education.

Go to the Financial aide department at the college you are looking to attend. They have all the information for you. Most colleges even have family housing as well since housing is high you might even want to check into that as well.

College may not be the best choice.  Save your money, trust me.

first of all, an education at none of these schools is worthless in response to whomever responded that.\nI would recommend going to visit these schools. Stay overnight with some freshman, in a freshman dorm. Talk to them about how they like the school. Go and sit in on some typical freshman classes (ie. calculus, psychology, american politics, etc) and also sit in on a higher level course. Possibly even go with the person you're staying with. If you know what you want to major in, look into those classes. Those are all great schools and you'll definately get a top-notch education. You just need to figure out where you think you'll fit in best. Congrats and good luck on your decision!

Start off at a community college or junior college those are alot cheaper, and the best part you get the same classes for about half the price. 12 units is considered a full load so I always try to take 6 units of fun enrichment classes and 6 of classes I actually need which takes a little longer but combats the getting burnt out affect. Plus if you are worried about the financial part most all colleges offer financial aid and it ends up paying you to go to school. Good Luck

Each school will have different requirements.  The best idea is to talk to an advisor about the college you would like to go to.  They can help you plan exactly what courses to take into the future.

I would start with communication classes and build from there. Just ask your college counselor they should be able to help you put together your degree plan.

Testing out of as many classes you can would be the best way.  Be careful about choosing a major.  If you start working on one major and then switch it can mess everything up and you'll be in school longer.  College advisors can be really useful, it is there job to know what classes to take and how to graduate the fastest as possible.  My sister is doing online right now and it does take a lot of time, instead of going to lectures you have to do more reading outside of class.  I would suggest talking to an advisor.

You mean colleges?\nThe best are MIT, Stanford, University of California at Berkley, and CalTech. \nBut all of them are highly competitive colleges, so be sure to apply early and do great at your testings. :)

Get yourass in school. By going to college you can receive financial aid grants and take out low interest loans to support yourself during your time at school. Then you will have better opportunities to choose from.

Yes, you have a really good chance of getting into college. You might even be able to get a minority scholarship.

Go to a College or University.

research the colleges you want to attend. Go on their web sites, and usually you can request information packages from them. Or call them, and ask them to send you information.

Your best bet would be to go see a counselor at the college you want to go to and see what they say. In some universities, all you really need is enough college hours on a junior college level to be able to get into a senior college. Good luck to you!
