what exactly is a community college??

[SGV]

I got into an arguement with my lady about this. She goes to UCR (University of California Riverside) and I go to Community College. She swears up and down that a CC is less than a UC or CSU. But CC's are no different. The only difference is it's cheaper and has a more diverse Student population. Since it's so cheap, it gives you the oppurtunity to make mistakes and not lose TONS of money doing so. It's a great way to get all your General Education out of the way, as they follow the same guidelines. People downing CC's make no sense to me. They're great to have.

your lady is right. I hate to say it but it's true.  Yes..you're right about g.e. classess, but the highest you get isassociate degree, which is considered "half" of b.a/b.s degree.
you get people transfering from cc. to csu or uc..

i happened to have went to all three types of california colleges except private. went to CSU long beach first, then to a community college, and then to a UCSB. the reason for me going back to community college is because i know that i wanted to eventually transfer to a UC, but its so much easier to transfer from a comm. college as opposed to directly transferring from CSU to UC. UC's always look to comm college as their first priority for transfer students, and then trickles down to UC, and CSU. but yeah its a good option for people that may not have necessarily enough money to spend right after high school to pay for high tuitiion. like some people have said before, its a good way to clear out all your General Education requirements, and then by the time ur ready to transfer all you have to handle is your upper division major courses. By the time i transfferred to UCSB, i was already cleaared away with my entire GE cirriculum.

A comm college is still a college but the highest degree you can attain is AA. but if you want to pursue further you will have to go to a 4 year instituition as a CSU/UC to attain ur Bachelors. From my experience of attending comm college, its more like older adults that are trying to recontinue their college education, or like people like myself that were kinda in the transition period before transferring to their final choice.

its crazy though. I went to CSU Long Beach (1year), a community college in the bay area (1year), and then to UC Santa Barbara (2 years), and then to UCLA extension (1 quarter). but 4 colleges in total. haha.

yeah but taking wheelchairs takes time, plus if youre legs are broken that recovery time is gonna set you back a few weeks, thereby delaying youre graduation.....legs broken= heart broken

why would you have to move to North Carolina to go to a university?

[Don Jacob]

going to community college is a bigger benefit i think , because

1) they care more if you pass or fail classes
2) it's a lot more inexpensive
3) easier to test the waters, to see if you even really WANT to attend college
4) they follow the guidlines of the UC's, CSU's, and private colleges like usc
5) more hot girls

Community College is a school for people who are too lazy, dumb, poor to go to real college, to either:

come on now i go to a community college, it has nuthin to do with how smart you are, i jus skipped too much school and smoked too much weed come on now a native like me aint got that much money and aint gonna get no scholarship.

Why is everyone sayin community college is to see if you really want to go to a real college? I thought a community college is so you don't have to go to a real college.........
