I enrolled myself in a community college to take several credits to save money. My idea, take as many credits as possible from a community college then transfer over to a 4-year university-- saves a couple thousand in the end.
Yeah, well. I enrolled but had to drop out before I even started. Transmission on my car died and so now the 3,000 I saved up for school is bye bye. I feel ****ty that I can't go back to school this semester. I have already been out of school for a year, eh. I'm not even sure I'll be going back next semester either- might be moving out of state.
So now I'm back to square one really. I want to get a BA in Elementary and Special Education. However, I also want to take some business management, sociology, religious studies, multicultural...I hope I can take some classes as electives eh? Or maybe a major and a minor perhaps? No idea. I suppose I should begin by first deciding which university to sign away my life to. :P
Any advice to offer would be great.

1. Figure out what state you're going to be in when the school year starts.
2. Pick a university in that state that has the program you want and that's close to your home (as living on campus tends to be more expensive and you can save money by living at home). If there's a good public transportation system in place, then you won't even need a car really. If there's no semi-reliable busing system, then you can even bike and that'll save you money too.
3. Student loans?
Good luck!
