Jennifer, kuddos to you for planning to go to college! I completed my degree at Excelsior, however, that was after going to a community college to begin. It really depends on your major, your finances, and your ability to work on your own time. I tend to do better when it's on my schedule, I personally love online classes! However, if you are just getting started, Excelsior can be very expensive. I actually took my core classes such as English through our local community college, even while taking other classes with Excelsior. Just had to be approved by them first. Saved me about 200 dollars....each class. Really look at what you want to do when you "grow up." It took several years for me to figure it out. Maybe start by doing your basics at a community college until you decide. And talk to the counselor at the local college. They can be a wealth of information about career plans and costs. Make sure it's something you will love for the rest of your life! Trust me, that is more important than the pay!! Good luck!!
