ok so, i got in to UNF right, but my parents and these two guys i know who are in a med school right now are telling my to go to community college first because its cheaper and i could live at home.i dont know. i am confused.... all of my friends are goin to 4 year universities but my friends (both) said that its stupid for anyone to go to a university without getting AA because classes are large and its hard to get math and science (my major) they also said that since i'll be in college like 7-8 years its better to go to community college first or i'll get sick of college after my undergraduate degree. so WHAT SHOULD I DO?
Community College or 4 year college?? CONFUSED!!!?
Can you afford a 4-year college? If not there is always financial aide or grants, and if that doesnt work then a community college would be best.
At a community college it is much more cheaper to attend and you can complete your general education there for much less, HOWEVER, you need to make sure to stay on track. A community college is supposed to take 2 - 3 years some take 4, but if you slack off and take 2 classes a semester you will be there forever!
You dont need an AA for a University, I didnt. An AA are 60 college units, so when you transfer to a university you would start as a junior rather than a freshman.
Reply:Community colleges are typically less expensive, so you can save money. For the first two years, you will take the basic courses everyone needs, so where you attend is not as important as where you will graduate from. Also, if you attend a two-year community college and do well, you have a shot at getting a transfer scholarship to a 4-year university. More money saved!
Reply:Especially if you want to do science or math, just go to the four year college. Community colleges usually don't have advanced courses in math and science, and you'll need to load up on those early in your college career. If you go to a 4 year private college, you'll be out in 4 years - longer usually isn't an option. State universities, you may take 5 years depending on your classes.
Get an advisor early and talk to them about getting required classes. I've never seen anyone turned away from physics. :)
Reply:Start with the community college. Save the money. The courses you take at the community college will be the same. Keep your grade point average up so transferring will not be a problem.
