Your best bet is to find a college that is in the same state as the college you got the credits from. Whether or not they'll be applied towards your degree is not something I would know without more information.
Also, remember that colleges and universities require that a certain number of upperclassmen credits in courses that are specific to the student's declared degree must be completed at their school before they'll issue a degree. The requirement prevents students from receiving misleading degrees. Without the requirement, students would be able to do most or all of their coursework at a lower ranked and less recognized school and then transfer all of their credits to a higher ranked and more recognized school.

After my freshman year at a tiny private school in western NC, I decided to transfer to a public university. The school to which I transferred actually had a website where I could pick the school from which I was transferring from a list and it would tell me exactly what classes the university accepted as transfer credits. The other schools I looked at did the same, but all of them were major public universities. If you're transferring from one public school to another, most of your credits will be accepted, but if you're transferring from a private to public school, that may be more difficult. You'll likely lose a few credits either way, but despite that, I still could have graduated after only 3 years in college. I'm not sure what you mean by "general degree," but my university has general college requirements that we have to meet in addition to our major requirements. It would all depend on the general college requirements that you needed to meet. Good luck!

Most colleges wont accept ALL your credits. Depends on what the class was, where you took it, when you took it. But it doesn't hurt to ask.
However, there are places i have seen advertised that say they give you credit for all your life experiences - i imagine they would take all the credits. usually that sort of college isn't full accredited.
as far as "general degree" - i'm not sure what that means. Sorry.

That's a tough one. Most colleges have their own set of standards and curriculum rules for accepting credits. Your very best bet is to contact that school and determine what they 'will' accept and if they will transfer to a general degree. Many times, the concern is 1) how many hours you have 2) what level you have reached (freshman, soph.etc) and your major - if you have declared one.

Not that I know of, I tried doing some research, they accept some of the credits but not all. If you are in your first year, that is good so you dont have to worry about retaking 3 years course work but if you are in 2 or 3 year coursework, i suggest you finish what you started. Every college varies on the education they provided. If i were you i get information about that college and compare to what you already taken now.

It depends on which college or university wants to transfer your credits. You should talk to other colleges or universities academic advisor to find out which ones do. By going to an academic advisor, it doesn't mean that you are going to enroll in their school.
