Barbara,

I would be remiss if I did not strongly echo David's positive sentiments
about the San Juan College program (I'm also a graduate). San Juan College
is a very nice facility (in an albeit not so nice location -two coal burning
power plants in the vicinity, along with mondo oil and gas development -but
it provides a strong dose of "real world perspective" on the effects of the
fossil energy industry). It could be great for a recent H.S. grad -with a
full curriculum and some great instructors, there are ample other learning
opportunities. "Chance favors the prepared mind."
