i will be done with my 2 years associates in Computer Engineering Technology in fall of 07. i can go off to a 4 year college 60 miles away as a junior and get my bachelors in computer and electrical engineering technology. my 2 year would transfer and let me go into the bachelors as a junior. also heres the next decision. i could stay here and go to the local university and get a bachelors of science in engineering with a focus in mechatronics. mechatronics is mechanical, computer, and electrical engineering. very cool stuff. i could live at home, use my 2 year degree to get a job, and go to school at nights. if i go to the other college go get the electrical and computer engineering degree i would probably end up having a horrible job for the next 2 years and such. i also want to get out of my house and live on my own a bit and meet new people. i would save money by going to the local university because its only 4000 a year while the other university is about 10,000 a year due to living on campus and food. either way im getting a bachelors in engineering. i just don't know what path to follow. maybe you guys could give some advice? would paying almost 20,000 to live on campus be worth it for 2 years or is it just a waste of time and money?
