Damn. Sounds like the smartest students would go to community college first. The degree you get after transfer is the same regardless. You just have to make sure those credits transfer -- probably the biggest concern. Otherwise you're just paying a premium and repeating courses. Did yours transfer?
- JoshTriplett 10y agoAll of my credits transferred. I went to university in the same state as the community college, and the community college specifically had it as a goal that everything should transfer. I'd recommend talking to advisors at both the community college and your planned university to confirm. One other excellent property my community college (https://www.pcc.edu/ https://www.pcc.edu/) had: because they also catered to high-school-completion students, and students transferring in with gaps or inconsistencies in their knowledge, they had a placement exam for math and English as part of the application process. That exam could place you anywhere from "you need a few years of remedial classes" to "you can go directly to second-year classes".
