College Count Down

I have been looking at colleges for some time now, and I have manage to narrow it down to a number I can work with. Here is a rough list in case you want to know. Here is my list even if you don't want to know. So if you happen to not want to know, don't read it. There are still a few possibilities that I am looking at but these are the main ones.

I have had several offers of a place to stay in these and other areas. For which I am very thankful, as I will be very unlikely that I can stay with my immediate family for the whole of my college years, and I would like to avoid dorm life and cost.

My criteria for each college is.
*Room and Board. Preferable for little or no rent or help around the house.
*Is there a CEC church near by?
*Is there family and/or friends near?
*Major. Dental Hygiene or Dental Assistant.


They are not in any particular order.

Pierce College
Lakewood, WA

Has Dental Hygiene. I would stay with my Aunt Trish and family. Have friend in the area.

Wallace State Community College
Hanceville AL.

Seems like a very nice college, and has dental hygiene. There is a family that I can stay with for rent free. They have 3 young ones so I could be a mothers helper as much as my schooling allowed. I also have friends my age in the area that I met at the convocation in FL this summer.
At the end of this week I and my sibs are going to help the family that has offered me a room move into their new house, so I will get a chance to see the house and visit some of the schools while I am there.
The down side is that Wallace is an about an hour and a half drive from where the house is. Wallace does have housing (and none of this co-ed nonsense) so if the commute gets to be to much there are other options that I can look into.

Lawson State Community College
Birmingham AL.

Central Alabama Community College
Childersburg, AL

These two are possibilities that are much closer to the house.
Hopefully I could get my prerequisites and or dental assistant here first before (if) I go to Wallace. There are a couple more in that area that have the same possibility. Again hoping to check some of them out this weekend and see if the credits will transfer.

Griffin Tech
Griffin GA

Gordon College
Barnesville GA

One of these two is where I will most likely go for two or three semesters while the family is still in GA, and before I go elsewhere.
