<p>For about two years, I attended Baltimore City Community College. After attending and seeing how poor the instructors taught and how terrible the tutoring services were (It was seriously like 13th grade there), I decided to transfer to Community College of Baltimore County. Things were going pretty well there until I lost my job and became extremely depressed due to family issues. In result of that I had to drop out.</p>
<p>I’d like to attend Community College of Baltimore County again. However, $208.00/ credit hour plus fees is just too steep (I’d still need money for my textbooks and tuition fees that FAFSA won’t cover and I have to pay that tuition rate because I live outside of Baltimore County).</p>
<p>Because of what I stated above, going back to Baltimore City Community College is just too much of a gamble. </p>
<p>I’m just not sure about what to do (My credit is poor so loans are a no-no and there aren’t many scholarships around for older students (I’m 27)</p>
<p>If you are local for Baltimore CCC, you are stuck paying out of area rates at all the other MD CCs unless you enroll in one of the state-wide programs that are only offered at the specific campus where you want to study. If you can’t move to a different county, then take a look at the state-wide programs offered at CCBC. One of them might be a good match for you.</p>
<p>How many credits do you have? Maybe it is time to pay a visit to the Transfer Admissions Office at Towson U. If you work full time and study part time, that might be a better option than being at a CC.</p>
<p>Wishing you all the best!</p>
<p>Thanks for your help, happymom. I would most definitely considered moving but I’m not even in the right situation financially to do so. The only type of work I qualify for is cashier work and there just aren’t many of those jobs. It’s a pity that so many of these other minimum wage jobs do not wanna train their employees or consider anybody without experience.</p>
<p>To answer your question, I have 20 credit hours.</p>
<p>I tried applying for so many waitress/cashier/janitorial/security/other random mininum wage jobs and I haven’t had any luck. </p>
<p>Not trying to go off topic but my income has been a negative domino effect on pretty much my entire life.</p>
