    I'm studying online with the open university. Try googling that to see if there is an equivalent in the us? I loove studying from home. Its hard work to get motivated though!

    If I were you, instead of thinking "online colleges" first start looking at what program you want to get into and then see what individual universities have online classes as part of their regular programs.  Some schools will have online options and a regular campus and will be cheaper than schools that are 100% online only.

    I don't know about in the US, but Athabasca University is very good and has a lot of programs.  But it is just as expensive as a regular college/university. http://www.athabascau.ca/

    . i already looked up fairmont state and wvu which are the ones in my area hoping i could start out just taking 1 or 2 classes online and then maybe going on campus but they don't have very many online at all. i'm not even sure yet exactly what i want to take, just anything i can get into and get financial aid and is online and will get me a decent job

    Well it doesn't have to be near you necessarily.  Some classes you never need to go in person at all.  Check out other schools in your entire state.   Even out of state, some may not charge out of state tuition if you are online only.  Maybe.

    I was accepted into the counseling program at wvu but then didn't get to go, then I got a felony so I probably couldn't get licensed to be a counselor. So I'm thinking maybe public administration or something like that, that would apply to pretty much any job kwim? I was thinking about just doing an associate's in medical coding or something just so I could get a halfway decent job quick. But since I have a BA idk if I could get a loan for that.
