Not being able to drive.

I've been taking online courses at my local CC, because I'm unable to drive because of a brain injury I had when I was born.
I honestly haven't been thinking about what I want to do after I finish my last class this fall. My options for colleges are probably going to be limited because I can't drive.
What do I do?

I limited my choice of colleges because I wanted to stay local.

The situation is vastly different from yours because I chose to limit myself, but the result is the same.

Transfer to one of those nearby colleges where the driving factor is not so much of a problem and finish your degree there? Or find a cool online program at an accredited college. That's my best guess based on the limited info.

Well, there's a few options. Are you impacted in any way where you can work gainful and have self-supportive employment? For example, would you have to limit the hours you can work due to your brain injury or have things specifically you can't do in terms of machinery?

I know I had to make a lot of life changes from what I was doing before due to my mental and physical health being affected.

I can't just take the bus, because the bus doesn't come where I live.

I take it you live out in the boonies? Like I said, physically if you are unable to drive or even operate heavy machinery there are other options out there. Depends what you and your doctor can figure out though.
