University or College!!!!?

Ok, so I have a problem. I am an 18 year-old student and trying to figure out whether to go to university or college. I want to major in engineering but to go to university I'll need physics and chemistry which I currently don't have. I'd have to come back to highschool to get those courses. My second option is to go directly to college right after I graduate in 2006 because chemistry and physics are not required for college in engineering. I would go to College and finish civil engineering for 3 years and if later I decide I want to further my education, I would be looking at about 2-3 yrs more at the univeristy because the university would only give you credit for some of the courses you complete at the college for engineering. PLEASE SOME ONE HELP ME. I already applied to college but I don't want to confirm my offer just incase I decide to go to University. ANd my offer expires on May 15 2006 so PLEASE HELP, any advice would be greatly appreciated Thanks =)

Chemistry and physics are classes any engineer should be required to take regardless of whether you attend a college or university.
Reply:university is college with a fancy name
Reply:Why don't you see if the university you want to attend will accept courses from your local community college. If they will, then you can take all of the English, math, physics, chemistry, social science and foreign language courses you'll need (at a MUCH reduced cost!!) and still only be in college a grand total of 4 years. (Approximately 2 years at the community college and 2 years at the university.) It's called an Associates Degree in North Carolina. You can take elective courses in engineering. I wouldn't waste my time taking any courses that wouldn't transfer to the university.





You should go ahead and notify the Engineering Department of you intentions and they will be happy to give you a mentor (ask for the department head) that will pre-approve the courses you should take at the community college so that all will transfer. (get this all in writing-with signatures!!)





Good Luck!!
