Does it matter which college you go to to get your AA in either RT or RN? There is a college by my house that opened that has these programs but it is not well known and I dont know about its reputation. Will it affect me when trying to get a job if i go to this college?

Regardless of where you live, as long as the college or university you are attending is legitimately accredited (click on the link at the very bottom of the "ope.ed.gov" webpage, below), and you keep your grades up, you shouldn't have any problems, as both RT's and RN's are in great need, worldwide.
Apply for an internship at a local hospital, if possible, as soon as you can, because there are often waiting lists.
Good luck!

In order to take the national registry exam to be a radiologic technologist, you must go to an accredited school. It doesn't matter if it's a little community college or a famous university. You can find schools here: http://jrcert.org/cert/Search.jsp (choose Radiography and your state).

I think you taking advantage of the viccinity is a smart move. Community college is a very good stepping stone for employment or for further education. That is unless you have some prestigious colleges you have in mind.

As long as the school is accredited, it shouldn't make a difference.
Potential employers don't look too much at where you went to school, just that you managed to pass your board exam and earn your license. Especially at the ADN level.
