Will answer your last question about a reputable college, first.\n\nPlease take the time to read the below link about Alliant College.  It used to be known as "California School of Professional Psychology" until it merged with "United States International University".  Part of what makes a "good" college is its accreditation.  The WASC (who accredits Alliant College), in Feb 2005, placed it on a type of "suspension".  \n\nhttp://www.wascsenior.org/wasc/Doc_Lib/AlliantPublicStatement.pdf#search='Alliant%20International%20University%20status'\n\nAlso what exactly is the degree you are wanting?  There are other colleges closer to home that offer degrees in Hotel/Restaurant Management.  I know that going to school in California might sound fun and interesting, but it might not be right for you and/or your family.  You should look for a school that offers internship sites with good companies.  That has a low student loan default rate.   A high rate could mean the students could not find jobs after graduating and thus defaulted on their loans.  \n\nSome colleges closer to home might be:\n\nCentral Pennsylvania College, Summerdale, PA\nhttp://www.centralpenn.edu/academics/programs/program.asp?id=X05QZQTDFfZPLYKMJXZd \n \nHocking College, Nelsonville, Ohio  \nhttp://www.hocking.edu/academics/schools/hospitality/hotel-restaurant_management/index.htm\n\nRight at home the Indiana University–Purdue University at Fort Wayne offers a Bachelor of Science in Hospitality Management.\nhttp://www.ipfw.edu/academics/programs/undergraduate/h/hotel/\n\nAnd getting a degree from a well-known college or university can carry more weight than some place that is changing its name off and on and has a history of trouble.  \n\nJust things to think about.    Oh, yes about convincing your parents to pay for it.  You already said they are not rich and they should not have to mortgage their home or eat beans so you can go to college.   A local school, a few loans and grants and maybe a parttime job would be best.

It depends.  Call the University of Miami admissions office and provide some details about your academic background.  Or visit the website and send them an email with the question.

It is an accredited university. They are great for the few degrees they do, but they are also very expensive.

Community colleges do have reputations, but it can be hard to get a clear picture of them.  These colleges are local in nature and so they're not generally covered in ranking surveys.\n\nI did find a top-100 ranking (at the first link below), but it's just in terms of raw number of degrees awarded.  That same site has on its front page (at the second link below), lists of the fastest-growing community colleges.  But, again, this is probably of limited usefulness to your real question.\n\nWhile community colleges don't usually get high-profile general reputations, there are many community colleges which are well-known for particular programs.  For instance, Mt. San Antonio College (third link below) has an aeronautics program which received an award as the "Nation's Best Aviation Program" in 1987 and 2005.  But, unless you're looking for an aviation program, you may never have heard of MtSAC.\n\nIf you're looking for a good community college, think specifically about the area you want to study and then try to get an idea of how good the programs are in that area.  If you're just looking for general information, I'm not sure what else is out there.

Miami University in Ohio has a placement rate of over 90%.\n\nCheck the websites of other universities in which you are interested.  That's the best way to find this information.

A community college is a two year college that offers associates degrees, certificate programs, and continuing education/community interest courses and workshops.\n\nCommunity Colleges are tied into the local community and are usually governed by a local board that is appointed by the local governing body. The community colleges have as their goals to offer wide access to a college education, to train the local workforce, and to contribute to the economic development of their community.\n\nBecause they are local, relatively inexpensive, and schedule classes so that people can go part-time, they offer ready access to people of all ages who want to get college training.\n\nSee this article on community colleges:\nhttp://www.csi.edu/support/hr/orientation/College.htm

I personally graduated from Loras College.  I feel it was a pretty good liberal arts school, and I got a pretty good education.  From my experiences, Loras had more classes and options of majors than the University of Dubuque.  I don't know what exactly you are look to get into, so maybe that would influance it too.

I don't know a lot about the programs.  I do have some friends who have went there for BS and Masters programs and they loved it.  \n\nNot too much help but these guys loved it so maybe that will help some

I've heard UCLA has a good program; one of the Marine Science Academy teachers at my old school took a program there. But also UC Santa Barbara, since it has the additional benefit of being right next to a beach. Also UC San Diego, I think.

It's outstanding.  As prestigious as DeVry, University of Phoenix, and Hamburger U.\n\nIt's not even listed on collegeboard.com.  That's not a good sign.

Good in what?  Fashion merchandising or pre-med?  A college is only as "good" as the programs it offers that appeal to you.  Do your research, and don't attend a college just because everyone's heard of it.  Some of the best schools in (and out) of the country are ones that no one has heard of except for alumni, and they are the ones that love that particular school.

Community Colleges are a great way to save some money and get the basic core classes out of the way.\n\nThe one thing you must check on is if the college is accredited and if your credits will transfer to another college if you want to go further in your education.

You have to take basic courses anyways so why not start at a community college, and then transfer.  Plus its a whole lot cheaper this way as well.
