you snooze you looze Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Its cheaper than going straight into a four year University or College and most of the classes are much smaller those first two years. I feel like Community College would be too similar to High School for some reason and I wouldn't get that whole "experience" thing that you have the first couple years of University. But I'm sure all that shit is just overrated and whatnot, I just need some advice. Is it worth doing two years and getting an AA then transferring out to a University? oh and yes, i am coming to you for help, because i am just that cool. Anywho, I'm sure some of you have done it. Good Idea? Bad Idea? Did you like it? Discuss? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

injury Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 It is harder to get into a university straight up. They are more selective because you are up against a lot of competition. However... Transferring ain't all it's cracked up to be. Don't always plan to go to a school for a year or two then transfer- depending on the schools, sometimes you can't make it. Also, when you trade up and transfer into a university from CC you stand two hazards: losing aid and losing credits, both of which cost money. If the university won't accept your credits, there's usually not much you can do. I have a friend who transferred and he now has to take 6 classes over this summer and next summer in order to graduate on time. And if you transfer it's almost always before the FAFSA is filed, and, as a transfer, the school doesn't have half the incentive to offer aid anyways, being as you came to them; they don't have to entice you. Going to a university is more fun too because college girls are at that special age where they're still retarded but love to party, and they want dick, and if you're smart you'll make it yours. CC's aren't known for wild ass parties. Aaaaand social life may suffer and suck. Real universities also have the benefit of health services (but not everywhere) and all sorts of other benefits that you would have to pay for yourself otherwise that no CC usually has. Someone mentioned money. File your FAFSA (google it) and look for scholarships, there are HUNDREDS of scholarships available to you especially if your parents work for corporations, you're religious, or if you're not white. These scholarships are usually not too hard to get and they add up fast. TAKE FREE MONEY WHEN YOU CAN GET IT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Police Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 CC is a good stepping stone to a real college. I didn't want to go to real college right away and got the boot fairly quickly as I wasn't ready. I then ended up in CC which was ridiculously easy and then back to a "real" college. Some "real" colleges will not accept a good number of CC credits in some programs so make sure you confer with other transfers at your new college of choice. Getting an associates will also help you to learn what you want to do as well as improve your study habits and shit... The experience of college is all about wearing flip flops in the shower, raping drunk bitches, and drinking which to my understanding you can pretty much do anywhere. Seriously though being a welder or a plumber is a better idea these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheoHuxtable.. Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 no a community college is nothing like high school. that is all. i went to a CC then transferred to a university. saves money and the classes are unviersity level so who cares. many of my CC professors were also professors at a big university. and they taught the same material. the CC just doesn't have the same prestige or funding. but who cares you're just knocking your general ed out the way the first two. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

you snooze you looze Posted March 30, 2010 Author Share Posted March 30, 2010 Did you go into CC with a college you had your eyes on and a major you were looking into? Like how soon are you supposed to know that shit if you are considering transferring? My High School education has been quite awful, except for the couple IB classes I took, and the few CC classes I've been taking this year, so I really have no clue what I would want to pursue in college because I haven't been subject to any cool subjects yet.

CALIgula Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Anywho, I'm sure some of you have done it. Good Idea? Bad Idea? Did you like it? ive done it. good idea. didnt really like it when i finally got to the uni though, because i wasnt as prepared for the competitive nature and the quicker paced system...but overall, its better to go to community college because its cheaper, class sizes are waaaaaay smaller, its not as hard to get a good grade (no grading on curves like most unis), etc etc etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceman Spiff Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 I took about 18 credits at a CC and now I'll be transferring into a state university next fall. Like everyone said, make sure your credits will transfer. I mainly went to CC because I wouldn't have been here long enough to be considered a resident if I went straight to university after coming back to the states. Also, the average age in all my classes seemed to be about 35. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My High School education has been quite awful, except for the couple IB classes I took, and the few CC classes I've been taking this year, so I really have no clue what I would want to pursue in college because I haven't been subject to any cool subjects yet. I came into school not knowing, but my options were somewhat quickly limited by my prospects after graduation. What do you like to do? If you can take a degree thats somewhat relevant to your interests, go for it; it's what i'm doing and i honestly really like it. i'm still getting my core requirements out of the way right now but i'm shooting for something good after graduation in a field i've loved since i was a kid and is poised to expand rapidly over the next 20 years. When you enter college you aren't at ALL required to know what you're gonna do after you graduate, as it should be; you're young. Mix and match different classes and look around. I entered school believing I would be a civil engineering major, was almost a philosophy or political science major because through taking those classes I realized I can maintain and argue a point REALLY well as well as think logically. I shelved those two options because I didn't want to go to law school, and didn't stick with engineering because I was required to take calc 1 as a core class and realized I couldn't stand math. Thats partially why core classes are good. It's also an argument for taking core classes at a university because you'll be able to assess the strength of their department; coming from a CC, some departments may be far better or far worse in certain subjects.

Scoup You Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Its cheaper to go to CC for 2 years. (just meet with a counselor to make sure all your credits transfer like everyone else said). You can start at a university as a junior instead of a freshman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serial rapist Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 I barley graduated high school, went to community college for 2 years while working full-time and transferred to a 4 year university. CC gave me the chance to get my shit in order, save money and focus on improving my situation. On the other hand, in California at least, it's something like 1 in 7 folks who transfer to a university. You can either hunker down, save money and focus, or you can hang out with all the shit-heels from high school who are sucking money out of their parents and dragging out a long shitty high school party.
