Essex County College is a community college, because if you are from MD then you know. Good fashion design schools are very expensive, so community college won't be a good choice. I'm sorry i don't know any fashion design schools though.

You can get your general ed out of the way and transfer. But it's not Harvard (or even Rutgers)
