Can I ever attend/graduate a University?

<p>I'm not sure if this is in the right forum but I'll post here anyway.
So, I messed up very bad while in college, and I mean bad. So I went to a university my freshman year (Nothing special of a university). I decided to major in Chemistry, Physics, or Astronomy; I couldn't decide. I did alright and pulled A's, B's, and a some C's my freshman year. Now, I was dealing with some anxiety issues when I went into my second year of college. I started to get a lot of anxiety; this led to missing classes, which led to me withdrawing from the semester. So I'm able to go back next semester, I start to get panic attacks, major anxiety, and I fail out of school. Go back next semester and I fail again... </p>

<p>Now, as you see that lowers my GPA a lot and puts a lot of F's on my transcript for that school. Which now I owe around $10,000 before I can even get my transcript. The thing is now I'm anxiety free (medication) and I would love to attend college and graduate. </p>

<p>So my question is, is there any chance at all I can get back to school. Maybe going to a CC as a freshman, and transfer to a university to get a degree? And I really don't want to go back to that university but attend a different one. Maybe talk to a school to see some options? Anyone with knowledge about this have an idea? Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>Certainly you can still attend and graduate from college. Perhaps you’ll have to begin at a community college, but there’s nothing wrong with that.</p>

<p>Your biggest problem, however, is that you say you owe your former college $10,000. That debt is going to have to be settled before you can start college anywhere. There’s a record of your previous enrollment, and of your outstanding balance, here: [National</a> Student Clearinghouse](<a href=“http://www.studentclearinghouse.org/]National”>http://www.studentclearinghouse.org/). And most colleges and universities do check. This means that ignoring your previous enrollment and starting over as a freshman, as if you’ve never been to college before, isn’t really an option.</p>
