The first thing that you should do when you start looking for a college to go to is visit your local colleges to see what kind of curriculum they offer and whether or not it matches the one that you would like to complete. It is always helpful to see how your options in this field are going to work. There are also programs out there online that offer a great degree.
When you are looking at a college to go to, check to see if they offer a specific course of study. For example, if you want to get a computer science degree, you may want to look into a program called CSC 101 or some other equivalent course. There are also different online programs that you can enroll in. Some are for students who want to finish their degrees in four years while others are geared toward individuals who want to finish up their bachelor's in as little as two years. In either case, it is always beneficial to make sure that the program is accredited.
You should also look at the reputation of the schools offering online programs. There are a number of unscrupulous people out there who are not interested in making a profit and only want to take advantage of others. Make sure you check for reviews and testimonials online to see what other students think about the school and whether or not it is worth the investment. It is also a good idea to ask about any financial aid that you can get, but make sure that you know what it is and if there are any restrictions or requirements in order to get it.
Finally, take the time to learn about the financial cost of these online programs. Many times, students just don't have the budget to pay for their education while working full-time, so they look into online programs. However, if you take the time to figure out the costs, you should be able to understand why people are choosing these programs instead of going to traditional colleges.

You don't want to go into a new endeavor without understanding where the career will take you, what you will do once you complete the degree, and how much it will cost you in order to get the degree and whether or not the degree is right for you. It will definitely help to be aware of these things when choosing a school for your next step in life.
Wasting money on collage, take up an apprenticeship or a trade and you will be better off.
Even getting out of highschool and working for mcdonalds instead of going into debt to get a useless degree will put u in a better place for the future.
And after your up to your ears in debt from student loans dont come crying about how the goverment needs to pay for it or that it should be free.
You chose to go into debt for a useless degree so you should have to pay for it with intrest. Tax payers should not have to cover your bills because they chose to work while others choose to waste money partying at collage.
By the time u finish collage that friend of yours that u made fun of for working fast food will be a manager making over 100k a year and you will just be entering the work force with no experience. 4 years later when you actually get a job thats not open entry because you finally have some job experience your fast food friend will own his own franchise and be living the good life.
Then maybe another 8 years down the road you might finally pay off your student loans while everyone else that left highschool for work will be half way done with buying a house.
Good luck with that life long debt from a pointless diploma that wont get u jobs because the guy that started off at the bottom of the company and worked his way up is more qualified with more experience in the thing u got a diploma in......
