Freshman, Transfer, Transfer

I have been in 3 cuny colleges over the past 4 yrs.

Freshman(age 17 to 18) 2 semesters Tuition: $5000

I started off at Medgar Evers college, which turned out to be a big class of 13th graders. This is based on my experience at this school.

The atmosphere at that school is terrible. The students yell in the hallway, gather around and cause clutter, and just waste time. I guess one would have to go durning the evening to actually feel like its college. During actual class time, some students would act like the professor wasn't even there. It made me feel like I was in Junior high with a substitute. Little groups of students causing distrations, yelling out when ever. I mean wtf, this is college. I don't know if its because of the college's location or the students. There may be some good professors at Medgar, but its just a turn off.
If I didn't hate the school so much I could of had my Degree in Psychology.

After being disgusted with M. E., I didn't go back to school until the Fall semester of 2005.

Transfer (19 to 21) to Kingsborough Community College. Tuition: $4200
Now this is what college is suppose to feel like. Roaming on a Large campus, not having students act like 8th graders. Professors giving a challenge. Now some people may disagree with me, and say that KCC is a horrible school. I happen to like it there, there are very good professors and the students seem a bit more mature. (Not the freshman) Maybe its just the classes I am taking, but it is a different feel than ME. I took 2 semester off while attending this school, which is basically 1 year. I plan on making it up during the free 6 week semesters offered at the college. I have about 8 more classes to go plus about 30 hours of field work.
I'm good at KCC for now, and I hope I still feel that way when I start in Sep.

Transfer Laguardia (age 21)
Cost : $70
Community College. The first time I tried to apply for the Vet Tech course, I wasn't able to. Second time , I got in. Due to other circumstances I am not attending. Maybe after I get my Masters I will get my AAS for Vet Tech.

Oh yea that $9,200 came out of my own pocket I do not get FASA, and that's not including books and transportation. :)
