    I feel that going to Hartnell to get your AA is definitely worth your time and effort especially if you can get financial aid to help pay for classes and books.

    As it is a community college, it is much more affordable than a private college. The financial aid is generous to those who are rewarded as well as those who apply and it's easier on your pockets as well for food and transportation.
