Can I go back to school?

<p>Thank you again for another most informative post.</p>

<p>I am willing to devote another three years to my education, should the need arise; however, I would much rather graduate in two if possible. How do four year colleges recognize an Associates Degree? Would I begin with the same number of credits that I graduated from Community College with? Will I need to retake certain courses?</p>

<p>Financially speaking, I am on my own. I have not asked my parents for a dime since leaving High School and I will keep it that way. I would be willing to take on a small amount of debt (<$10,000) if I could deem it worthwhile.</p>

<p>I have not looked into Stony Brook, but will consider it. What other SUNY schools should I consider? I was accepted to Albany and Buffalo out of High School, but was applying to the Engineering School at the time and would be interested in Business now. Could I be penalized for not accepting admissions previously?</p>

<p>I appreciate your recommendations of schools near the water, but in hindsight would rather not limit my search geographically on account of my extracurricular activities. If I am devoting a large sum of money and a great deal of time to my education, I would prefer to make the absolute most of it. I can always find time to fish.</p>

<p>As it appears, I seem to be limited to public schools due to my meager funds. What state has the best public schools for business (that would accept me)? I am not against moving (North America or Europe only though) and have a strong social network (personal and business) that will comfort me anywhere I go.</p>

<p>I will look into the residency requirements for the schools which you have already recommended.</p>

<p>Are there any other resources for transfer students that I am missing? In all my research, this is the only website that seems to have any measurable amount of information for transfer students. I’d gladly invest in a book or subscription to an appropriate service.</p>
