How do you know when college is for you?
Question:
Answer:
I recommend that you attend a community college in the state where you reside. Usually you need to reside in a state for a minimum of 6 months before you can pay in-state tuition.
Since you enjoy learning, college is a wonderful experience as it will open your mind to many possibilities in life, as well as providing you with more options and opportunities.
Online courses are quite expensive, and you need to make sure that you take them from an accredited institution, so that the credits will transfer to the college of your choice at a future date.
Many students have had to withdraw from college during their freshman for various reasons. That is okay, and should not prevent you from continuing your education. Best wishes.
Since you have a dream, go for it. The longer you stay out, the harder it will be to go back to school. You may have to live on campus, rather than with a relative, under the circumstances, but that will be in a stable environment and you'll be less likely to drop out again. You must be very studious to be already enrolled in college courses at the age of 17. That is an accomplishment in itself. Utilize government-backed college loans for your expenses and that will pay off in the future. Future employers will value actual in-college courses rather than on line studies.
Good luck to you.
