@writingmachine You mentioned that there is a state school within commuting distance, although it is not the most attractive school on the planet. Does it have an acceptable education major program? If so, I would just go ahead and spring for it. If you cannot get anything from the FAFSA, you go to the best college you can afford, with emphasis on “afford.” A degree is a degree.

@Mira55 Homework Assignment: Before you pick a transfer institution, you need to have a plan. Best thing is to sit down with a piece of paper and divide it into three sections: 1 year goals, 5 year goals, & 10 year goals. Hopefully you’ve discovered something during your college experience that you’re good at. If you pursue that field, where do you see your going with that field? You may need to dig around on the internet, looking for details on what you can do with particular majors, in order to make your plan realistic. Don’t be surprised if you have to modify it as you go along. Either way, put it down on paper, then talk to your parents about it.
