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.

I went straight to college. But if I didnt know what I was doing then I probably would have gone to a comm. college.

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.

offtopic: annoy:
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:
