Welcome to CC!
Community College has the advantages of being less expensive and easier admissions. However, if you have good grades from your recent courses, you might want to consider a larger college which will have more lab facilities, better professors, internships, and career services. Did you want to stay in the Northwest? Are you happy to relocate? How many years since high school, and do you have a solid H.S. transcript?
Hey, If you don’t want to go to a CC, you can find a small liberal arts college that is yellow ribbon friendly and use your post 9/11 Gi bill, take over 30 credits and get good grades and then transfer or stay. I found a school in Ohio, went to Arkansas and now I am at Baylor. Let me know if you need any help with your essays. I am a Veteran too.
