College options?

I flunked out of college 2 years ago, partially due to my own stupidity but also partially because of factors that I couldn't control. I know I need to get a degree in order to get a good job and support myself, but I'm not sure if I want to return to that particular college. I know most if not all other four-year schools want at least a 2.0 GPA, which I obviously don't have. I've thought about and looked into community college, but, since I completed most of my general education courses before I flunked out and community colleges don't offer courses in my major, it would pretty much be a waste of my time. Any ideas about what I should do?

College options?
Though a community college may not offer the prestigious or specialized classes you're looking for, it will give you the opportunity for a smoother transition back to a four-year university. Consider taking classes - even gen ed ones that you might have gotten better than a 2.0 in originally - to raise your GPA and make you more marketable to potential, future colleges. Community college is what you make of it and you can get a solid year or so out of it while getting back in the groove of being a student and relearning (or learning for the first time) some good study habits. You could also take online courses or apply to some four-year schools while taking transfer credits at a community college.





Good luck!
Reply:A lot of community colleges do offer classes in things other than gen eds, especially in areas of business, education, medicine. I would take a couple of classes at the best community college in your area, get your GPA up, and then apply at another university. Even if the classes you take don't apply to your future major, they may be helpful in your daily life and good for your general knowledge. I took a investment class and into to business that really taught me a lot about personal finance. Plus, they are relatively cheep. Also, take a look at your future universities gen ed program. They may have a few that you didn't take at your last school. Good Luck!
Reply:It seems to me that your best bet would be to go to the counselors office at the school you would like to attend. Explain to them your situation. I am sure that they have dealt with this before. They could give you the best advice where we could only speculate. Good luck and think positive. You now realize the importance of an education. That is half the battle.
Reply:Talk to an Admissions counselor - you might be able to attend on probation. If you do, try to lose your "stupidity" before you start again, OK? It sounds like you have a goal, and I wish you luck.
