Default Community College - 01-23-2006, 03:49 PM

I hate the fact that I have to go to one because I don't meet the requirements to just go straight to a University. The internet is my new friend. Community college is a scam, it's just a way to get more money because they intentionally fail to teach those particulars in regular highschool for free. I am being pulled into it. The "local" community college, Cuesta is packed full of more and more students every year. I'm a genius because I recognize these conspiracies. Machette is my hero.


So yeah, community college, did you go or did you manage to get into a university straight out of highschool?

went straight to university park at PSU.

Community College is great...people think it's just shit. I see kids up here blowing $26,000/year (out of state) just exploring different courses and not knowing what they want to do. It is such a waste of money. You can do the same thing in a community college for an 8th of the price.

straight to pitt main, you arent forced to go to community, plus you live in cali which is a big state, im sure you could find a satellite campus somewhere and transfer to main if you do well enough

then again, coleman is right about community college here, but thats the east coast, i bet its different out west?

If you dont meet the requirements to get into a University - then a Community College is your best bet if you have no desire to go to state.

At a community college you will get teachers who will actually KNOW your name, and have a genuine desire to teach (most will also be teachers at state or Universities). You wont be blowing a FAT LOAD of cash for classes that EVERYONE has to take, that can be taken at a JC. Also dunno how your state works, but by transfering FROM a JC - your SAT/ACT (or whatever the hell they have these days) scores are rendered moot, as are your HS transcripts - all that matters is your progress from the JC.

If you dont have the cash, grades, or knowledge of what you want to major in - JC is a DAMN fine choice.

I graduated highschool early (in december), and im going to a community college. It is a great way to save money and get the same credits you would with a normal unversity. Just make sure you go in the transfer program (and not the career program), it just makes life easier.

You have two options if you don't get into Uni, you can go to a community college, most of witch are pretty good, or you could join the Armed Forces (Best choices being Navy/Air Force). I'd go with community college.

Edit: Or three, be a fucking bum.

Apprenticeship program IS good. However, I have no desire to either be a plumber, electrician, or welder. That kinda labor isn't exactly my place. I like indoor thinking stuff. biggrin:
