<p>Basically, I attended community college for two years, did very well considering I was basically a high school dropout who got a diploma through correspondence after I got married. At community college, have 3.57 GPA, loved it there. </p>

<p>With pressure from folks around me, I enrolled at a university as a junior, was accepted, started taking classes. I hate it...I thought I liked it at first but as the days rolled on, I hated it enough that I started feeling nauseated just pulling in the parking lot. Academic probation my first semester, appealed, tried it again & now failing my second semester... grades... three F's, C, C, WP, B... I feel like I jumped into it to please all the people around me telling me this is where I should be and how I'll never have a normal job without my Bachelor's.</p>

<p>If I could tell the whole world to shut the h-- up for a day, think, and "feel" what I want to do, I'd be back in the community college in small classrooms with hands-on instruction pursuing some type of technical program just to get me a job that I can retire from. That would make me happy.</p>

<p>So, would a community college like say--Dallas County Community Colleges--take me back with two failing semesters at a university?? </p>

<p>Please help. If someone thinks community college will take me back then I'm good. Don't care so much about financial aid because I'll do a payment plan as long as I'm home free, out of university forever.</p>

<p>I don’t see why a CC wouldn’t take you back, even though you don’t have good grades from your University transcript. That should not matter much. Its good that you are not that interested in Financial Aid, because that would probably be a big problem, particularly if you earned an Associates degree. You could definitely enroll in a vocational or technical program that would give you the skills to get a job, but you might want to also consider looking at smaller baccalaureate institutions that might give you more of the experience that you valued in a community college. Granted, such institutions are generally more expensive, but they still might be the way to go.</p>

<p>I am pretty sure your community college would take you back. I do, however, agree with Alf that you should look into smaller 4 yr colleges before you make your final decision.</p>
