Just a thought: I've seen some of your work as far as graphic design goes... Do you think you would be interested in that? It looks like you have a gift for that.
second, if price is a big issue, you can probably go to a junior college to get you core classes out of the way that you really don't need, but you have to take anyway. they are usually easier at a Junior college level.
(and if you get into Phi Theta Kappa, you could have scholarships lined up for you if you transfer to a university. This is also something that looks good on a resumé)
Again, these are just some thoughts to consider.
