Is it better to have all of your credits from one institution, or does it matter if they are from different ones?

I currently have 6 credits in PACE courses with one college, 33 credit hours with CLEP exams, and ~12 credits with another online university, along with the 42 credit hours they accepted from my military experience. And I was thinking about going to another college after I get my associates from the online university, but I don't know if that would be a good thing.

And if you know of a term to use for google, let me know, cause I sure as hell couldn't come up with anything.

I think that any employer or grad school looking at your transcripts would wonder if you are able to make a long term comittment to anything. and why would they go through the trouble of investing time/money in you if you're just going to leave in 2 months?

Hmmm. If it was alongside the fact that I've been in the Navy for 7 years, hence the different schools--do you think that would justify it, or no? That sucks though. I figured it would be a bad thing. Oh well though. Thanks.

I don't think it matters but it's a pain when you need to send out transcripts and many credits don't transfer. Grad schools and jobs typically care about the last 60 hours. Most university's will probably require that the last 60 hours be taken there.
