any body can go to college if they have the will to do it and commitment just pick the career you like and work at it of course life is give and take and there will be some struggle to get through college but it is not impossible

Is there a community college nearby? Usually you will be assigned a counselor based on what you are interested in. Before you are scheduled for classes, you will have to take a placement test. These tests show if you are prepared to take general courses, academic classes, and sometimes you may need to take remedial classes first. They are classes that arenot graded with letters. Only pass or fail. Then you continue from there. If you are in a regular class and are having difficulty, talk to your advisor, you probably will be assigned a tutor to help get you through the rough spots. If you are working on a degree, after you take all the courses that are available, you may transfer to a two year or four year college. Anything worth having is worth working hard for. You need to have more confidence in yourself and donot allow people to talk you down. You have lots of potential so ignor negativity and surround yourself with positive people.

You can definitely go to college. Pick something that interests you but isn't going to take forever to finish, unless you want a 4 year degree. Best bet is to start off part time at a community college in a 2 year program, see how you like it, see how you're doing, if the first one or two semesters goes well, try going full time the next semester. Once you've finished a 2 yr degree you can always continue on for a 4 yr.

well is easy man...look A average or C average makes no different. you are smart enough by just taking the decision on going to college after that study get friends to do home work and help u out. dont stress over ur grades at first. remember smart is not the same as intelligence. go to college study what is require to do, pick a career or two and just work on it. you will have fun!
Pick something that you will enjoy doing in the future for at least 8hrs a day :)

See now a days education is really very important.. because you might need it some or the other time... and believe me college is something where you will remember those days for your enture life...
Have some good friends and enjoy their company.. and people go to college to become smart.... and the people also go to college who are not smart....
So dont be very straight in life be a bit crucked and enjoy your life... dont kill it.....

No. High school and college are different in the way you learn. In high school you learn how to pass the class, in college you have to learn how to think. It's different and some take longer than others. Just keep at it, and you will be fine.

Not if you have money.
But I think you mean do you have to have good grades to get into college because you can still be smart and not make the best grades which I'm sure is the case with you. Believe in yourself and you can do it.

You just need to be motivated to go to college. Alot of super-intelligent kids fail becuase of 1 reason or another, but the kids with motivation and discipline to succeed most always do well and graduate. High-school grades have little to do with college grades.

Anyone can go to college. You may have a harder time getting accepted to some of the better schools but you will find one eventually that will accept you. Don't give up on yourself, you can do it
