<p>Hello! I would like to ask you several questions about Community Colleges.
I searched for a similar topic but I couldn't find it. Sorry if it repeats somewhere.</p>
<p>My questions are the following:
1) What kind of education do they give?
2)Can I transfer in a bigger university after the first year?
3)Can u name me some of the best schools?</p>
<p>Thanks!:P</p>
<p>community colleges are great. You can transfer after a couple of years to a university. Many have partnerships with the universities. You take basic classes to prepare you for the university, and some people take classes at the community college instead of the university because its cheaper. Overall its a good thing, and for the most part depending on what teacher you get, they prepare you pretty good for more advanced classes.</p>
<p>If you want to transfer to UCLA or UCI, join the Honors Program at the community college. It provides you a better education, smaller classes and significantly improves your chances of admittance to these UCs and other UCs.</p>
<p>You cannot transfer to a UC after one year unless you have enough AP credit (you need around 60 semester units to transfer). However,you can transfer to some private schools such as USC after one year.</p>
<p>Its a pretty straight shot into the UCs from the community college.</p>
<p>I see...
If I want to apply as a freshman again it will be possible, right?
As a transfer - after a couple of years?</p>
<p>btw, sorry for that but what are these abbr. UCs and UCI?
thx</p>
<p>No, when you transfer after taking some community college, you will likely be entering as a sophomore or junior or possibly as a second semester freshman, not as a brand new freshman again. The admitting school would tell you which credits will transfer & which will not--each school can have different policies about this. You can ask the school you'd like to end up at which community colleges they recommend & accept transfers from.</p>
<p>You would transfer as a junior, you would get your general ed done at the community college choose a major, take a few more classes outside your general ed focusing on your major, and apply. But you would transfer as a junior</p>
<p>UC university of california, UCI university of california irvine</p>
<p>many people transfer out into bigger universities after an average of 2 years..</p>
<p>like someone said above, many community colleges have certain programs that lead right into the bigger university..</p>
<p>our local community college in new haven has transfer programs with uconn..</p>
<p>and, as a side note, if u do the work and show interest, its possible to transfer into a very prestigous university..</p>
<p>several students will be transferring from gateway community college to yale this year as juniors..</p>
<p>You can transfer after one year at a community college. Definitely.</p>
<p>I did community college for a semester, and it is definitely possible to transfer after a year or so. i didn't find that the classes were that different from a 4-year school, the only problem i had was socially it was hard to meet people, i took night classes so most of the people in my class were adults. that part kinda sucked, but i've known other people who took classes during the day and were able to meet more people, so it really depends on the person.</p>
