College. Should I stay or venture out? University or Community college? Fashion Design or Psychology.?

*I am having trouble deciding if I should go to a community college for two years and live at home or if I should Move out to a University of my choice.

*The pros of moving out are that I would Study where ever I want and whatever I want plus I would gain independence. T

he Cons of moving out are that I would be MUch more in debt and all on my own so my chances of making it are significantly less.

* The pros of going to a community college and staying at home are that I would be less in debt.

* the cons of staying, are that I would not gain enought experience in my career of choice and I will be truely unhappy meanwhile.

The dilema is I want to venture out but Im scared I wont make it and If I do finish school (on my own) It will be real hard to pay all the money back.

Im sure I could get financial help and eventually a schoolarship but meanwhile what do I do and Im afraid even that wont be enough… Any opinions from your own Experiences?

recomendations?

I say you need to move. It seems you haven’t seen much by the way you talk. When are you going to see what’s out there? It sounds good to stay at home but you will eventually have to move away or you will grown old in your little town.

I don’t know where colleges are where you come from but you talk as if you will be 1000 miles from home when you move. Is in not possible to get a college that is within 50 miles so you don’t just break away from home?

I think you worry too much about the unknown. I believe that the only reason you should not go to college is if you actually enroll and do your best to learn and still fail. I don’t know how you think you will fail college. Remember they have all sorts of majors, which allows you to choose what you like or what you are good at. College will give you build your career and be able to compete in your field and expose you to world cultures.

You worry too much about money. Are you the poorest person who has ever ventured into college? Probably, not! If you can’t afford to pay, then fight for financial aid which comes in forms of loans and scholarships. Nobody is going to calling you at home and offer you a scholarship if you don’t apply. Even without scholarships, a lot of college students meet their needs by working through college. Many work as waiters etc. and even on-campus. Every school has a financial aid office; I would suggest you talk to them before ruling anything out. Good luck.
