<p>Which option for someone who wants to transfer?</p>
<p>Depends on your grades and many other factors. I know that the CC I teach at is very well regarded, and the kids who earn high GPA's, 3.8 to 4.0, have no difficulty transferring anywhere they want, even Ivies.</p>
<p>And when the earn an AA degree all their credits transfer, too, which is a big plus.</p>
<p>The Community College is certainly less expensive as well.</p>
<p>I don't have experience with transfers from four year schools so I hope someone else answers about that.</p>
<p>transferring from a 4 yr institution will be a bit difficult, primarily in the dealings of whether or not the classes you will take are on par with your targeted institution's curriculum. My suggestion is to attend a reputable community college and attend for one or two years. As mythmom has stated, your grades will be a primary factor. However, factors such as ECs, jobs, and internships will also heavily influence your application.</p>
