I'll get straight to the point. I got rejected by a school already, and I've only applied to 3 schools. I am not looking for pity, because honestly, I'm not that phased by it. I didn't want to go to this school anyway, but it was kind of a blow to my self-esteem. My GPA is a 3.56 and my SAT score..well that's pretty bad, but I still don't see why I didn't get accepted. But I don't care that much, it wasn't my dream school. AND now I am doubting myself about getting into the 2 other schools.

I've always contemplated just going to Community College, because unless I go to the school 1 hour away I would be commuting to my top choice anyway. What do you think about going to Community College? I've heard mixed opinions and everyone said it's just like High school and it's the same people and all that. My sister said her friend cries in her car in between classes because she has no one to talk to or something. I mean I feel like I would hate it, but it's just so much cheaper. $5000 a year compared to $18000? I wouldn't have as much loans to pay off. AND now I am torn between 3 majors..Marine Biology, Zoology and Wildlife Management.

Marine Bio, I've loved since I was a little kid, and I was sure it was what I wanted with my life, but now...I'm torn once again. I know I want to do either these 3 things, or something very closely related. Marine Biology is a hard field. Zoology/Wildlife management would allow me to do what I've always wanted...move out west since they're very big fields up there. So going to CC would help me decide WHAT I want to major in by giving me more time!

I see why it could be bad. Now, I'm anchored here for 2 more years, which isn't what I wanted at all, but if I can get a good start in CC and transfer to a 4 year Uni in a different state, that'd be okay. I wanted to get a new start, far away from here...or at least a new start academically. I am not a fan of NJ and can't wait to leave.

So what do you think? Is Community College a bad choice in this situation? Is it bad AT ALL?

I know I sound desperately confused right now, but this is a serious decision I need to make, and I just might do it. My brother went to the CC I'd be going to and he said there is absolutely nothing wrong with it.
