HELP! What college should I go to?

I'm stuck between two different colleges. The first one is a community college in my current town. I would know lots of people going to this college and be close to home. I could still live at home and save my money instead of paying for rent. The second college is in a bigger city, 2 hours away from my current town. I might know a few people going to this college, but not many. The only thing I'm worried about is that I'd get there and then be really homesick. I'd also have to pay for rent and all that stuff. It would be nice to go to a college right here in my home town, but I know that college is also a time to explore and grow, and that would definitely happen if I moved away from home. I guess I also have the option to move into an apartment and go to the community college in my current town, but is that a waste of money when I could be living at home? What do you think I should do? What are the pros and cons??

HELP! What college should I go to?
in your situation, it seems ideal to attend the community college - if it is accredited - and then transfer to the big city college. i'm assuming the big city college has more job prospects, etc.
Reply:I think you feel the community college would be best to start and I agree with you assessment
Reply:If your CC offers a BA its ok





An AA or AS won't get you much





There are some medical professions you can do (tech jobs) AS Nursing in some places





CC will be easier than college. Most colleges have a 40% drop out rate after the first year because students aren't ready for the intense work load.
Reply:The money aspect should definitely be taken account. The social aspect, not as much. You will be going to school with a lot of other students in the same predicament. You will make more friends in the first week (assuming you're living in dorms, or at least have freshmen orientation) then any other time in your life. I went to school 300 miles away from anyone that I knew, and 2,500 miles from home. The first person that I met became my best friend and I have made so many great friends that its hard to come home now. Plus, your friends from home can come visit you and you can show off.
Reply:take my advise and go to the college in your town..


i am studying medicine in a university far 2 hours from my place and sometimes i feel lonely.


you can make new friends who might make you face loneliness..


but that wont help you if something serious happened to you and you needed your parents..


and dont forget the additional money you will spend on an apartment and food..








home is best.
Reply:First of all, if the school farther away is not a community college, go there. Seriously. Employers will not take a degree from a CC as seriously as one from a 4-year University--you can transfer, but that's a pain in the butt.


Second of all, if you stay with your parents, you will fight all the time. College students have a lot of freedom, and living at home contradicts that--especially since your parents probably won't be able to give you all the freedom you need as a college student (ie. no curfew, etc.)


Lastly, college is about growing up. Very few people go to college and have friends there, and very few people go to school close to their parents. I live 2 hours away from mine, and am very close with them--and yes, it was hard, but I'll have to do it someday--why not do it at the same time everyone else is doing it so we can lean on each other?


Go to the school farther away. You will make friends. You will see your parents enough. And living at college in a new city will be more exciting than you can ever imagine.
