A thought: From the "Achieving the Dream" website: The U.S. has fallen in international education rankings. In one single generation, America went from 1st to 12th in college completion rates for young adults.
A community college is a good place to start your college education with support and help from groups like Achieving the Dream. Schools must be members in order to utilize this help. If you are one of those who would like this extra support, you can check to see if the school is a member school.
