for starters. Or just get an engineering degree and go into IT. The
key is learning UNIX and if you aren't running Linux now jsut do it.
If you are and I would assume you are. I have some tutorials at work
that may be of assistance. Let me know...<br>

A lot of universities will schedule classes at all times of day,and if
the university you attend is big enough then you'll have some
flexibility as to when you want to attend classes.

Most schools concentrate on Windows? If you're looking at Computer
Science programs Windows is just a potential platform for
implementation (perhaps even the preferred platform for
implementation), but a choice of platform should almost irrevelant.
I would expect that you learn more about theory and concepts and less
about programming for a particular platform in a C.S. program - this
being what differentiates it from the vocational school approach
As Tim mentioned - what else (or what subareas) are you interested in?

If you get into contact with a local church (or some Christian group
on campus) once you've found a place to attend, I suspect that they
could probably hook you up with something at least on a short-term
basis. As a first-year out-of-town student odds are you'd also most
likely be able to get a spot in a campus residence.
