CCs in my area not only have better curriculum and more importantly, face time with professors, but they have technology that matches AI. Also, get your AA at a CC, and then move to a university for the final 2 years. Go in-state, keep tuition low, and if you can work part time. I worked FT while going to school - It was hard and took longer, but I graduated with 0 debt.

Only let down is CC doesn't get you the type of technology that AI has.

Please go to community college to save money. Don't go to the FArt Institute of Shittsburg.

Based on your response you seem like you will be successful at any school you go to. There are many great schools out there.

All responses are very much appreciate - I do not want to wait but it's too upnpredictable and it's a huge investment for me. Nobody in my family went to college before and this is a huge deal for us, I'd get support from my family but I do not want to waste money on school that might close. Thanks everyone.

Don't enroll. No AA is worth 50k. Few BAs are worth 100k. Paying off your loans each month will have you regretting your decision. Just go to a loan calculator and do the math. I teach and manage faculty there - it's not worth the money. Most grads are stuck in part time $10 an hour jobs when they graduate IF they can find those. Go to a Community College. Work it out somehow. Traditional universities are also getting into the online game.
