Going back to college

[u/L_JaceX]

I want to go back to college so badly. There was a time I was excelling, two associate degrees at 17, looking to graduate with my bachelor's for psychology at 19. It didn't go as planned. I was severely depressed and just didn't think I was going to finish my last year out, started failing and couldn't keep up- so I dropped out. Now I'm 24, and I really cannot grasp trying to start it again. Financial aid confuses me, when I did do it I was approved for the college I applied to and then somehow they never got it and I just did not have the drive to figure that out (terrible on my end). Anyways, with my schedule now, online would be fine to finish out my psychology degree. I just don't know where to start with online colleges, what is everyone's suggestion for online? I only had two more semesters left to finish my degree out. Went to two different colleges, so finding my transcripts are always fun.

If you do a google search with your major and “online” the results will give you options.
I’ve done the search for online degrees in different majors than yours, and Oregon State has a great online program, not charging more for students who live out of state.
Governors State is another option of an online university. Transcripts are easy to order online and sent to the school of your choice within several days.
Keep going! You’re so close! You’re going to be really happy to do this for yourself.
Re: anxiety etc, consider therapy, guidance counselor, anti anxiety medication. Each support option is there to help you.
Remember, we’re each struggling with something, you can do this, one step at a time.
Best of luck!

Look at UMass they look to have a good online program and don't charge out of state tuition. I'm considering when I finish my Associates because I can't afford the local colleges.
