Choosing The Right Path Of College.

Postby Bartmanhomer » Tue Nov 20, 2007 3:28 pm

Ok, yesterday I went back to my GED-prep program and I told the woman at the program that I got my GED. She told that if I want to apply to the state college at New York. She should me a booklet of they college that offered at SUNY and I've to think about the college that I'm interested in. She also want information of my family income information in order to get my finaical aid to get money from college. So next tuesday she'll help me apply to college. However, I'm trying to think if I want to attended to city college or state college. That a big decision to make. :?:

the decisions on you make depend on where you want to live...rural vs. urban. What major do you want? Tuition...in-state vs. out-of-state? easy access to get home for the holidays? dorms/residence halls vs. staying at home? These are the questions that I asked myself when I applied for college during my senior year in high school.

Whatever you do, make sure you stick with it and do something college-wise. Don't make the mistake I did by putting off college for years, and then dropping out after only taking a few classes years after high school. I'm in my eleventh year of post-high school life, and not following through with finishing college is one of my biggest regrets. I'm correcting that now, though...

Go for a small community college.

The honest truth is (and forgive me, but this is something you have to hear...), that if you went the GED route, you aren't prepared well enough by virtue of the classes you've taken to go into a University or a State College.

Get used to the work load and expectations in a small college that will allow you to mess up a few times before kicking you out. Not doing so will see you either leaving or failing after a year.

Best of luck.

College is a different world that can be either tough or do-able. If you go to a community college/junior college, you will get a chance to see if you can handle the coursework and if you like the atmosphere of a college. For instance, if you go to junior college in New York and do well then decide to go to a 4-year college, the majority of the time, the credits will transfer so that you do not need to retake the courses at the 4-year college. You will also get a chance to explore a variety of areas so that you will get a feel on where is your passion.

Yeah, I agree. You should try the city college first.


Get the feel for going to class again after however long it's been for you.

You can get an AA degree from a community college. You can also transfer to a state college later, and use credits earned for classes at a state college so you don't have to retake all the same **** over again.


I don't know for sure, but my guess is that if you get an AA in something from a city college, say in management, and then you managed something for a few years, and then tried to apply to state college, you'd probably get in.

But ask the adviser.
