Hi,

I'm very excited to be a part of this community. I'm a nontraditional student that's decided to finally return back to school after a 10-year break. I have many questions for you guys, so my apologies in advance lol
 
I wonder if someone could give me some advice. I left college with a horrible 2.3 GPa. I’m currently enrolled in a different university, majoring in liberal arts. I chose this major because I would only need 30 credits to graduate, and then I could start on my prerequisite science courses at a community college. I’m totally unsure if this is the best route to take or if I should go to the other university I found (an American public university) that offers a biology with science course I can do online with labs, which would be really convenient for me. I know it’s going to be a long road, and I have some work to do, but can someone point me in the right direction?
