What school is for me? Part I

Most people think that choosing a school is no big deal. WRONG! Choosing the right school is the second most important step ( next to deciding to go back), so choose wisely.
Are you going to attend a traditional school? Maybe taking classes online is more suitable for you. These are just a few of the things to think about. If you've just graduated from high school, a traditional, on campus experience is probably what you want. Aside from the education, you get a chance to expand yourself socially. And if you decide to live on campus, you get your independence.
If you are an older student like me, online classes are probably a better idea. First, you can take classes that you can work around your schedule.This is important especially if your employer is helping pay for your classes. Second, do you want to get back into the campus thing, worrying about where to park, etc.? And third, (don't take this the wrong way kids) do you want to hang out with a bunch of teenagers? Think about it.
Are you going to pursue a degree? An Associates or Bachelors,maybe? Or are you looking for a certificate program that will show your competency in the subject? These questions will help you decide on a school, also.
You read in an earlier post about choosing a major, you've decided whether you're going to take traditional classes or use distance education, and what type of program. Now, lets pick a school.
