College questions..?

So I'm wondering how the the system really works.. because I'm not in college yet and I'm totally clueless.





I'm aiming for a bachelors degree when I go to college.. Do you take two years of community college to obtain an Associate's degree and then another 3-5 years to get a bachelors at a normal college? Clarification will be much appreciated.

Hi.





You can go about it exactly as you said, go to a community college first, get your A.A, transfer those credits to a 4 year college and get your Bachelors. It would be cheaper that way. OR, you can start at a 4 year university and straight obtain your bachelors degree.





OR





You can go to a For-Profit university like DeVry or UOP and finish a 4 year degree in approximately 2+ years.





I hope this helps.
Reply:Get an associate degree either in a community college, junior college, or as a mid-point at a college or university if you need to take small steps. "College" historically is a four year marathon with the prize being the bachelor's degree. The former (AA) gets you only half way there if you want to teach, go to graduate school, or hold a professional position, but is fine otherwise. Decide the path you take based on your finances, your stamina, and your ultimate goal.
