Manda,

I started back to college by taking online classes via a local community college. Yes, eventually, you will have to take some classes on campus. I enjoyed the classroom experience because it made me focus on something other than my own feelings and get out of the house. You did not say where you live, but I suggest that you check out the web sites for local state and community colleges in your area. Be aware of "proprietary colleges" (DeVry, ITT) which are for-profit. The credits probably won't transfer, and the tuitition is outrageous.

The online universities (i.e. University of Phoenix, A Capella, Walden, etc.) are also very expensive.
