So I am 34 years old(will be 35 in January). I finally got my GED in March. And while a GED they say is a lesser diploma, I originally got it to find a decent job. But I stay with my grandmother and housing is expensive. I just need to be able to make my own choices. I cannot start any classes until next fall anyways but I have heard about people being able to stay in dorms before attending classes. First off, I am looking at a low-profile university such as the local Coker College because my average grade is just above what used to be the limit to pass each test, which was 150(no gpa with GED). I still don't know if I will be accepted but possible they would give me other preparation tests.
Anyways, I deal with agoraphobia so finding a job is not so easy, there are other things I need to do. The hardest thing has been trying to find a college if I am wanting to be in a dormroom. Also finding the safest college towns is another thing. I'm in SC and a lot of the college towns appear to have three stars in terms of crime rate and all(5 being the least crime). If getting a GED at my age can get me in a small university dorm, then would financial aid cover it along with classes?
