<p>Alright, well...I just got back from Austin, TX and I did not really like the city or the University of Texas. Seattle is still in my heart. :P</p>
<p>Anyways, I'm still kind of on the fence about what I should do. I'll be applying to college in the Fall and don't know if I should apply to UW. If I get in, I'd be paying 24k (at least) for the first year until I become a resident. That leads me to the next question that has been bothering me for a while. Should I just attend CC and then transfer? I'd be saving a TON of money and AFAIK the quality of education at any respectable CC is on par with many universities throughout the country.</p>
<p>Has anyone done this? I'm sure that there is someone on here that has, if not from BCC, then from some other WA college. Did ya think it a good choice to attend a CC and then transfer to UW?</p>
<p>Many people successfully transfer from BC to UW. You should call advising and talk to them about the process. Also, the UW website has information on this.</p>
<p>i’m attending the uw in the fall, successfully transferring from shoreline community college, i’m really glad i did because i definitely saved a lot of money</p>
<p>i really like the smaller class sizes, u actually get some interaction with the teachers as well as individual attention
i was kinda bummed when all of my friends went straight from high school to the uw, but i will be joining them soon and i know that a lot of them struggled because they had a hard transition from high school straight to university
and i think it really prepared me to go on to university</p>
<p>i did end up saving a lot of money, and i’m transferring with 95 credits towards my degree, and probably with a higher gpa then if i had taken it at uw</p>
<p>i can’t say much about bellevue, i heard they had a great physics department though :)</p>
<p>I really don’t like that line of thinking because it’s never a guarantee you’ll get into the school. Thank goodness I got into UW through my high school GPA. My community college is good but not UW good. A few years from now it could be easier or harder to get into it.</p>
<p>the uw has an agreement with washington state cc’s stating they will reserve a number of spots just for cc transfers
with good grades and a good essay i honestly can’t see why you wouldn’t get it, it’s not yale or Harvard we are talking about</p>
<p>plus it will be easier to get in as a resident rather than oos</p>
<p>Many people actually recommend going to Bellevue College first before attending UW because freshmen classes have gotten so large at the UW. So to many people, there isn’t a point spending all the money taking general education classes at UW, when you can get the same credits at BC.</p>
<p>Just some things I’ve heard from other people.</p>
<p>I attended a Washington CC (not Belleve College) and got in. I’m glad I did, because I don’t see any point in paying that much money for the core curriculum. English 101 is the same everywhere–really.</p>
<p>Thanks, Naturally. It’s good to hear that I’m not the only one that might do that. :P</p>
<p>Yeah, I kind of wish they’d finish it faster. I would not mind taking it places. Before I moved, I rode the bus a lot and it suited me well. A car wouldn’t be bad, either. :D</p>
