I have a nephew and he wants to go to college. I myself never gone and only know about local and the big expensive colleges. He wants to do mechanical engineering and I was telling his papa to send him to community college first to save some money. What would you guys recommend we living Queens,NYC, but I am willing to help pay if he wants to go out of state. Also if you guys had personal experience with a certain college.
I don't know anything about NY, but here is a list of 60 or more colleges and community college that might help. Before he starts, ask him if there is a company he likes to work for? if so, call that company and check what it takes to get that job. Would a regular community college or maybe a trade school college qualification good in order to get that job? Majority of jobs now these days look for mostly experience in the field. So whatever he chooses, they will ask for experience and then depending on which best college he went, he can ask for that salary after good bargaining skills. https://www.niche.com/colleges/search/best-colleges-with-mechanical-engineering/s/new-york/
