<p>lol. most people aren’t good looking :)</p>
<p>@galbitang: no. i don’t judge people, i judge their actions. people, like you (freshmen, i mean), who actually PLAN to stay for 3 yrs are in most cases, incompetent</p>
<p>i guess i should have been more specific. there are some valid reasons why people stay for 3 yrs, for people who face unforeseen circumstances. and then there are people who intended to finish in 2 yrs, but change their majors and are forced to stay for 3 yrs to finish their classes. THESE people are the exception. </p>
<p>but the only reason you provided in ur original post is that (paraphrasing) “it’s going to be too hard for me to finish in 2 yrs…i can’t handle the workload.” for someone who took summer classes, someone who already knows their major, you shouldn’t be in a position where u need to stay for 3 yrs. even with a moderate workload (15 units) and working full time u should finish in 2 yrs. </p>
<p>i was just trying to give u advice and tell u that u can finish in 2 yrs. the opportunity cost of being a full time student is at its lowest point in many yrs. ditch ur $10/hr job and work as hard as u can to get out of CC asap so u can get a suitable degree. that extra yr u stay could cost you tens of thousands of dollars in the future. that is the opportunity cost of staying an extra yr. ur not worth any more of my time so when it comes to the end, i really couldn’t care less about ur decision. go ahead, stay for 3 yrs and take it easy. and ignore all the “superficial” and “ignorant” fools like me who like to challenge themselves and get out in 2 yrs.</p>
<p>lololloololololololol. i don’t even have to say anything. i love when people make fools of themselves and don’t even know it. ^_^v</p>
<p>People have different standards. I personally like slender curvy girls but not too thin.</p>
<p>Spending an extra year at CC can also save you money down the road. Finishing all your pre-reqs at a CC means you’ll likely graduate on time as opposed to spending an additional semester at a UC to finish your pre-reqs. With financial aid, CC is essentially free for many.</p>
<p>Its all about the end result my friends. Doesnt matter how long it takes you to get there, you just better get there!</p>
<p>What’s so damn offending about somebody saying people should be able to transfer away from junior college within two years? All this anecdotal evidence about people having legitimate reasons for a slower process is moot. Everyone has problems, some are just worse than others.Obviously there are going to be some people with unusually tough circumstances which force them to stay longer but this isn’t the case for most people. I mean, taking 4-5 classes a quarter contains about the same amount of workload as most people had in high school (and even less in some cases where people attended tougher high schools). For the average student, it really doesn’t take an extraordinary amount of effort to transfer in two years, it actually doesn’t take that much effort at all. This may not be you, but anyone that has been to a junior college before knows damn well that a good portion of the student body are there in the first place because they ****ed around too much in high school. Amazingly, once they go to junior college, they don’t really change much. It’s really amusing to me to see so many people who are content with going to a junior college and aren’t in any hurry to get the hell out of there. But then again, I’m a huge narcissist so who knows.</p>
<p>But why the hurry to get out of CC? In the end, you’re still transferring as a junior.</p>
<p>If i were a good student, i technically could have transferred in 2 years … but the time spent in my CC has proven to be a valuable lesson.</p>
<p>dont feel so bad if you’re gonna transfer in 3 or 4 or 5.
at least you’re getting somewhere in life.</p>
<p>there will always be someone above you and below you, so just work hard.</p>
<p>i’ll be transferring after 2.5 years (in my 2nd right now) and i’ll have a full-time job waiting after i finish my CC life.</p>
<p>Might take academic courses in the spring '10 if i feel like it (for fun).</p>
<p>plus, in the end … enjoy the time you spend in college. I’m pretty sure alot of graduates are wishing they could have stayed at college a little longer :}</p>
<p>who the hell cares if you get out in 2 or 3 or even 4 years? Do you what you have to do and transfer to whatever school you want to attend. End of story.</p>
<p>Going to take me 3 years, I’m ****ed but there’s nothing i can do.</p>
<p>To the OP:</p>
<p>Majors like business, econ, ect do NOT have a lot of requirements requirements at all …</p>
<p>I’m wondering why it will take you three years? I am an econ major, hoping to transfer to UCLA … my counselor and I created a two year plan, and we easily fit in all the classes I need AND had some extra space in two years. Max units i am going to have to take in one semester is 13.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Math and English placement can eff you over.</p>
<p>I agree with lakers. OP is probably not even going to make it to top level UCs if he can’t handle 4 CC classes at once. I lol @ him with his Asian emoticons.</p>
<p>@azhir,</p>
<p>are you gonna be finishing all your pre-reqs by fall of next year?</p>
<p>i couldnt get any of my pre-reqs except one last year so that could possibly be a hindrance in transferring out by 2 years (for other people).</p>
<p>i technically could apply this year, but i think that’d be useless since i wouldnt even have most of my pre-reqs done.</p>
<p>My sister graduated HS this year and going over her ed plan with her, she saw on paper that it’s going to take her a minimum of 3 years to transfer. She wants to do Molecular Biology so she has math and science classes every semester. :o </p>
<p>I couldn’t imagine have to take Chemistry and Bio or Chemistry and Physics all at the same time.</p>
<p>Last year I took General Chemistry II, Physics: Mechanics of Solid, and Calculus II all in the same semester. Of course it is DEFINTELY possible to do, but lets just say you’ll won’t be enjoying that semester…</p>
<p>She’s really good in science but not that good in math, so when she did her assessment she tested into Elementary Algebra. So she has to go from there to Advanced Analytical Calculus in the course of 7 semesters. Then top that with an English class and you have a FUN semester.</p>
<p>Why does your sister have to take advanced calculus as a molecular biology major?
I agree with raliem. It is very possible to handle a heavy and difficult course load much like the one I’m currently taking. Personally, I think it is very plausible for a full time student to transfer in two years with no problem. Taking 3-4 classes per semester seems a bit too laid back. Just learn to prioritize correctly.</p>
<p>Sometimes schools just have other names for certain classes. Advanced calculus is probably Calc II.</p>
<p>I’m a bio major as well and it will take me 3 years to finish all my pre-reqs. I will have everything completed but the Biology and 1 semester of Calculus+some dumb Stats class by the end of Spring 2010. The reason the bio is taking so long is because I have to take 4 different bio classes to fulfill the requirement (these four courses cover General Biology I and II, it’s dumb). </p>
<p>So sometimes it has nothing to do with the person being lazy and taking it easy, it’s almost impossible to transfer from my school in 2 years as a bio major because of the horrendous setup.</p>
