-- Posted by Eruption92 at 12:59 pm on June 29, 2009 My mom says it would be good to start looking now.. because I was gonna join the Army and I can't.. so should I start looking at colleges? -- Posted by kay dee at 12:59 pm on June 29, 2009 Why can you "not" join the Army? And it's always good to plan ahead. -- Posted by DaisyMontana at 1:00 pm on June 29, 2009 Yes you should, Harvard since u live in Massachusetts -- Posted by Eruption92 at 1:01 pm on June 29, 2009 My mother can only afford to send me to a community college. And I have A's and B's, so I could get into Harvard if I wanted to. -- Posted by Italianlnm at 1:01 pm on June 29, 2009 Yes.. You should go ahead and start looking? why can't you join the army? My husband is in the army -- Posted by easley6 at 1:04 pm on June 29, 2009 yes -- Posted by Eruption92 at 1:06 pm on June 29, 2009 Alot of my medical history is disqualifying, thats why. -- Posted by sweetheart 10 at 1:07 pm on June 29, 2009 i have started, and in the fall im going to be a senior so yeah i would, you can get some money! lol -- Posted by Eruption92 at 1:09 pm on June 29, 2009 Community college is mostly free if you live in the town the college is in. You'd just have to pay for books and stuff, thats about it. -- Posted by chelseamorgan at 1:10 pm on June 29, 2009 Quote: from Eruption92 at 3:01 pm on June 29, 2009 My mother can only afford to send me to a community college.

Lol just because you have A's and B's doesn't mean you'll get into Harvard. -- Posted by Eruption92 at 1:13 pm on June 29, 2009 I know that. You get rejected sometimes. I was generalizing that I could try getting into there if I wanted to. Sorry that I wasn't corrective on words. -- Posted by newmie66 at 6:01 pm on June 29, 2009 It's never a bad idea to start thinking about where you want to go. I didn't start seriously considering schools until the beginning of my junior year when I met with a college counselor. -- Posted by Eruption92 at 3:05 am on June 30, 2009 Thats a good idea. -- Posted by pixie051308 at 8:16 am on June 30, 2009 How old are you? Well actually it's never to early to start looking at colleges. Do your research now so you can at least know what you want in a college. Small or large, in a small town or big city, etc. -- Posted by mtgirl118 at 12:52 pm on June 30, 2009 I'm going to be a junior this fall and I just looked at 5 colleges, mainly because this was the only time I had to visit them due to sports. It's never too early. Start deciding what kind of college you want (small/large, big city/small town, ect) as pixie051308 said. This will help narrow down your search. -- Posted by Eruption92 at 1:05 pm on June 30, 2009 I'm 17. -- Posted by dreamin at 12:19 pm on July 3, 2009 Do not go to community college. You should go to another state like NY to attend college. CUNY and SUNY schools are about $5,000-$6,000 a year. YAYYY! Some of those colleges are great: CUNY Baruch (I want to go there and I will trust me I will lol), CUNY Hunter, SUNY Stony Brook, SUNY Binghamton (public ivy league), SUNY Buffalo. -- Posted by Eruption92 at 4:23 am on July 4, 2009 I can't afford an outta state college. -- Posted by dreamin at 6:25 pm on July 4, 2009 Quote: from Eruption92 at 7:23 am on July 4, 2009 I can't afford an outta state college. hmm. you can't work part time while your in college and then pay the debt you have after college. Pretty much if you go to a public college you will most likely be in debt by $15,000, if you go to a good public college you should be able to pay that off in a couple of years because of the salary you will be making.
