Dental Hygiene major????

<p>I'm a senior and I haven't even started the college process yet. But I know what I to do and that's dental hygeine (no I don't wanna become a dentist). But there are only a few schools on the the east coast that will accept me if I get my Bachelors but with the Associates there are more schools in my area. I don't really know the pros and cons and I'm really distraught on this choice because time is against me. HELP!!!!!!!</p>
