The last time I was there was in 1997 and I had 2 more semester to go and I had to drop out. Now that I want to go back, I'm confused of either continuing of what I was studying or just start all over again. Should I go to the same college or somewhere closer to where I live now?
Any advice or suggestions?

College credit does not just "go away", so technically you can't simply start over... which is a good thing since if you have 3 years of college credit already, this will save you A TON on classes you have already had. Doesn't sound like you'll need to be taking Freshman Comp again...
What you need to do is get a copy of your transcripts from the schools you have attended already. Find the school that's most convenient to you, or that has the degree you are wanting. Take those transcripts to the counseling office and have them look at them to see what will transfer. they will work out a new Degree Plan for you (what classes you will need and when). If you haven't decided what you want to do you can make an appointment with the career services office in the school to talk about your interests and such... Maybe they can even suggest taking a Career Exploration class.
Just some words of advise, if you do have 3 years of school under your belt (I made this assumption-now I realize you could just have one - if you were going to a community college), you want to go to a 4 year school. Not a junior college.
Good Luck.

Do you want a degree in what you were previously studying? If so continue where you stopped. It will take you a lot longer if you start to pursue a degree in a different field since they will have specific courses that are required. It is sometimes easier to return to the same college because admission is quicker and you know all the previous classes will be accepted. Some other universities may not accept all your credits when you try to transfer them.

definite there some colleges in which you would be able to take those varieties of instructions, yet they're regularly the community college ones. 4 365 days college ones require a variety, probable funds to observe, and essays. I had taken a cake adorning type as quickly as at an area college. And definite, I did meet my important different in school. It replaced into our freshman 365 days at Michigan State college. we are meant for one greater!

If you continue with your major unless you just want to do something else. You can always get one degree then go back and get another in a different field.
But go ahead and get your degree first. You start changing majors before you get a degree you will lose a lot of credits.
Ah! go to the one that is easiest economically on you. That's what I would do.

defiantly go back, to where, I would say what ever is closest to you. And as far as what to take, do you still want to peruse in what you were studying to be, or do you have other interest now? Some of the classes you took will transfer, some will not. Go to the college close to you and speak to a counselor, that is what they are there for.
Good Luck

Since college was 10 years ago for you, I think you should start all over again and go to your local college because education and technology always changes and if you go back to continue the material is probably different. So you have to start over again. Good Luck

Your fastest route to a degree will be to contact the college you used to attend, and see if they will readmit you and allow you to keep all or part of those 10 year old credits. If you go to another school, most (perhaps all) of those credits will not transfer, because they are considered too old.
If, however, speed to degree isn't a factor in your decision, then do what you want. If you're still interested in your old subject, then major in it. If you are not, then try something else.

You should do what you are good at and what you love. Don't waste time studying something that is not what you really love. If you already wasted some time and money and you wish you could do something else,do something else. It is hard to know you made a mistake like that but it is even harder to keep making that mistake and wasting even more time. What ever prompted you to study the wrong thing does not matter now. if you know what you want go for your dreams.
