Hi, moon, welcome to PsychCentral (PC). I think it is great you are considering community college and exploring what you might need to do well there.

I would go to the college and talk to the people there and see if they have a study skills center and/or class you can take to answer some of your thoughts about whether you will do okay. Harford Community College You had the school's placement tests? That is to make sure you start in courses you probably should be able to handle (hence, doing not so well in math means you are in an "easier" math course to start -- that you don't need math for your chosen major is even better, the couple of courses you will need for your general education requirements you won't have to care quite as much how well you do, a "C" would be fine).

Community colleges often also have commuter lounges/centers and ways to get ride share partners, etc. Find your community college's site on the Web and explore it, call a likely number and explain you have questions and would like to come talk to someone and they should be glad to set that up and even give you a tour, maybe schedule more testing to see if you should start with a tutor/note taker or at least explain to you how they manage all that.
