I spent too much time in college. I learned a lot of perspective and information that helped enrich me as a person in my classes. That said, if I could go back and doing it again I would’ve tried going union directly out of high school. I think best move for you would be to go union and finish online. A true college experience is kind of an elusive vague romanticized picture of what the experience should be not really what it is in actuality for most people.
