Colleges around New york or Upstate

<p>I'm looking for a college around New york CUny/Suny
I like Suny better because i want to go out and live the college life.
My grades are 77gpa and S.A.T pretty low at the moment 1022 will be 1400 next October :D (Pragmatical)
Any school around new york College Confidential can give advice on.
I'm trying to study Homeland security or Criminal Justice
Homeland security is#1
4 year schools please </p>

<p>OP, do your parents know that you want to go to college? have you sat down with them and asked how much money they can give you in support? how do you expect to pay the rest? you can only borrow $5500 the first year. do you have savings? are you working now?</p>

<p>Your grades are not attractive, so I suggest you begin at a community college and demonstrate your commitment to academics by getting a 3.0. </p>

<p>P.s., you can live the college life without paying the college, too. Are you sure you’re emotionally ready for the hard work that is college: 40 hours a week, 60 during midterm/finals and when papers are due? Your grades and SAT score do not indicate that.</p>

<p>Yes, my grades are low , but it’s my fault did not take high school serious until the 11th grade and it was to late.
My questions is how hard is it to maintain a 3.0 and above average in a community college?
What are good community y colleges around New York?
When i’m done with community college am i able to transfer for 2 more years for my bachelors?
After my bachelors i want to go for my masters.
Or i have to redo another full 4 years?
Lastly, What are good majors that are needed in the working field that is not populated and will be manageable to find a job.</p>

<p>Do employees
care what colleges i get my degree from?</p>

<p>Talk to your local commutable CC. They usually have transfer agreements with the SUNYs and CUNYs. If you finish your bachelors you can go on for a Masters (in usually an additional two years). As far as majors, you can look at the Occupational Outlook. <a href=“http://www.bls.gov/ooh/”>http://www.bls.gov/ooh/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>I’ve heard good things about tech instruction at Broome County CC from a couple people who should know, PhDs in fields I cannot pronounce.</p>

<p>I suggest you start your education by taking a college skills course. You may not get any credit for it but you want to know how you can improve your behavior as a student so that you can improve your GPA. Change is hard, and getting a 3.0 if you’ve never had one will be hard. </p>

<p>You have your goals. Some of the days on the journey to those goals are going to be harder than others. You’ll find out soon enough if you’re cut out to do this, if you can motivate yourself to do whatever it takes each day to day-by-day scratch your way to your goals. This is what adult life is like for everyone. You can do it as well as we do it.</p>

<p>The last thing on your mind should be the prestige of the college because a) you’re a long way from a bachelors degree, and b) employers don’t care about the prestige of your alma mater but about what YOU have done and can do for them. If you get your masters no one will ask about your bachelors.</p>

<p>tech instruction at Broome County CC I can’t find the majors on the website </p>

<p>Hope, are you in New York? If so, what county? There’s likely a community college near you. Your guidance counselor should be able to guide you to one if you need help. Although Upstate is the area north of Albany, most city people think Westchester is the northern edge of civilization, so I assume by Upstate you mean Rockland, Orange, or Westchester Counties. They each have a cc. If you go to <a href=“http://www.SUNY.edu/attend/find-a-suny-campus/”>www.SUNY.edu/attend/find-a-suny-campus/</a> you can search for campuses. You can find a map of campus locations at <a href=“http://www.suny.edy/attend/visit-us/campus-map/”>www.suny.edy/attend/visit-us/campus-map/</a></p>

<p>Broome Comm. College is out near Binghamton. Do you live near there, or do you have the money to live on your own so you can commute there? NYS has a good college system; check out the campuses closest to where you live.</p>

<p>Living “the college life” entails hard work: classes, studying, and a part- or full-time job. Socializing with friends happens in whatever time is left, and it can be done whether you’re attending a cc or a 4-year SUNY. I don’t know if a 77 GPA will be overlooked by 4-year SUNYs, so you may want to start at a cc. The 2-year SUNYs generally have articulation agreements with 4-year SUNYs, so most cc courses should transfer. If you don’t change majors, you can finish your bachelor’s in 4 years. Good luck.</p>

<p>Is this what you’re looking for? <a href=“https://mycollege.sunybroome.edu/web/www/etdept”>https://mycollege.sunybroome.edu/web/www/etdept&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>I am near BCC and yes, it has a good reputation for transferring students into four-year colleges in technical fields. But are you close enough to commute? If not, that will add quite a bit of $$$ to your bill. What CC is close enough for you to commute? Have you checked with their programs?</p>

<p>Yeah, i don’t like the environment of the Cc’s Near Me.I will look for a decent one. Will give my effort for a 3.0 GPA to transfer to Berkeley college.
I’m scared of colleges courses will be harder than high schools. Well, suppose ot be harder, but harder to maintain a good average.</p>
