Myth-Buster MYTH: College isn't for me.
REALITY: There are many different types of colleges, postsecondary programs, and trainings available. You have options! Some colleges require specific classes or high grades to be accepted, while others have open admission. You may think about starting at a community college and transferring as a junior. Consider an apprenticeship that can earn you money as you study and set you up for success in a reliable career. Think about what's right for YOU. Big campus or small college? Out of state or close to home? What programs will help you reach YOUR goals? Returning adult? You can earn credit for work experience and military training.
