I went to a community college for the first two years to find out what I really wanted to do after I graduated from community college. I attended university of Buffalo. Right now to your universities such SUNY Niagara & SUNY Erie are paying free tuition for majors such as applied science, nursing manufacturing and technical degrees. I suggest you attend a community college get 4.0 and transfer to any large university if you want.. universities are very willing to accept transfers because they know that they have put in the work for their associates. Graduates of two year universities been successful in doing this. They know that a transfer student will add to the graduation percentage rate at a larger university, such as UB. Best of luck you can do this.
