Hi Ken,

   A good plan. Gen Ed's are gen ed's and coomunity colleges have much smaller classes and more personalized classes. Amber is loving going to Northern Virginia Community College, and is doing well. She wanted a small college/university and we are now looking into Mary Washington in Frederickberg for after the AA she gets at NOVA. The counselor at the community colege should be able to place Ben in the right program to transfer at a later date - if your community college is anything like NOVA - they have tons of choices for AA degrees, and generally have a good idea of what transfers to the bigger U's. Isn't it exciting they are going to college!!

he liked the campus. he did well enough on the sat's
and grades to get in, but, the highschool grades and
sat scores are going to be moot. class size in any of
the bigger state schools around this region is going
to be 300-400 in the core classes. he has decided to
do the core classes at the local community college.
then if he transefers to auburn his major classes
(marine biology) sizes would be around 25-30 per
class. right now that is his plan so his community
college grades will be what they look at when he
applies to the university level schools.
   i have to say that i no nothing of job oportunities
in marine bio.
    i assume there are jobs, i just do not know much.
