Is this a good plan for college?
I sorta figured out what I want to do as far as college is concern. I want to first go to a 2 year college because I realize for the first 2 years I will be doing the samething I would be doing at a University but for less. Also I would like to stay close to home so I can save money and get spiritually set to leave home. After that I would like to go to a HBCU college. Now that I finally got that figured out, I'm looking more into what community college because I never really looked into those. But hopefully I'll figure it out this summer. I plan to possibly even visit some this summer. How does that sound?

As Student Ambassador and former Student Government President of Wytheville Community College in Virginia, I would like to say that you've made a GREAT plan by deciding to start at a two year university. I recieved opportunities at the community college that I wouldn't have recieved anywhere else. I had a personal friendship with the college President as well! I was in his office numerous times discussing with him problems or suggestions that I had recieved from the students. I firmly believe that I would have never been able to attain the position of SGA President at a four year university, and probably would have never even met the president, let alone know him or her personally. It was very easy to get involved. Because there are less students, you recieve much more personal attention from your professors and instructors, and even the administration! You've certainly made a great choice!!!
I wish you the BEST, and if you have any questions, feel free to contact me.

this would nicely be a frightening question! yet some thing I certainly had to contemplate once I have been given my eventer this spring. I unquestionably have approximately 2 years till i pass to college. i'm certainly making plans to p.c.. a school that has a using team. i won't be able to think of not using for a month, not to show a pair of years. regrettably not many faculties do eventing, that's what i'm rather into :( thus far as my boy is going, my mom and dad have agreed to pay for him to return with me everywhere I finally end up, if i'm getting sufficient scholarship funds. If not, my using instructor has agreed to maintain him on the barn and use him as a lesson horse. this might certainly not be my first determination, in spite of the incontrovertible fact that it supplies me a back up plan the place i understand he would be nicely cared for, and that i will nevertheless experience him, whilst i'm abode. The college of Kentucky has what seems to be an mind-blowing stand-on my own classes for horse administration and equine vet. i'm desirous to be a vet :)

My brother did this and was very successful.
This is good depending on what you are looking to get out of college. If you are only looking to get a degree than this is a good idea, but if you are looking to get involved in clubs, or fraternities/soroities, make a lot of long time friends, and have a real social experience then I would recomend going all 4 years to the school of your choice. Especially if you are going to go to a HBCU. They have so many traditions and activities there that you might want to devote all 4 years to that institution.

It sounds like a great, well thought out plan. I was not ready to go away to school and wish I'd set aside my foolish pride and gone to community college for two years.
As for choosing a college, look first to your local county's college, which will be the least expensive for you. If they have a good program, you're set.

It is very smart of you to go to a community college for the first two years. It not only will save you money, but it will also help you prepare.
