My best advice is to consider Junior/Community College (if it’s an option). It’s a real lifesaver for taking your general education courses at a fraction of a price of a 4 year university. Community College, in my personal experience, was one of the better moments of my life. Largely because I struggled at a 4 year university. 

I got kicked out of my first school because my GPA was a 1.21 and I had to petition to the school as to why they should allow me to finish my coursework. I was unhappy overall with my life and wanted to transfer to Community College. I graduated with my Associates with a 3.2 GPA, and had no problems transitioning to a new university, where I am currently set to graduate with my Bachelor’s after 6 years in college. 

I was able to get into schools that I had previously been rejected from due to grades, but I decided to play college athletics at a smaller school.
