<p>Randomly, I do know that Mercy just wrapped up their open houses today, but I'm sure they'll have some more sessions soon. I don't know anything else about them, though. I only know that much because I came across them when working on my</a> list of free applications last night (I think they offer waivers if you visit campus).</p>
<p>Oh ok. I live in New Jersey but got my whole family in New York so it can work both ways for me.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, it can't. If you live in New Jersey, that's the only state where you're eligible for in-state tuition.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.njccc.org/%5B/url%5D">http://www.njccc.org/</a> might be worth a look. Honestly, if you want to go the CC route, just go to your local one. They're really all pretty similar, and as long as you do a liberal arts program designed to transfer, you'll be fine.</p>
<p>Thanks for the link. Found some really good cc's there.</p>
<p>In community colleges, you're only allowed to choose 1 "major" right? So you pick Journalism, its Journalism for those 2 years. In college I want to take Journalism and Criminal Justice, but If I were to go to a CC, I really dont know which one Id choose.</p>

<p>i have a friend living in Cerritos.
Any good Community Colleges there?</p>
<p>beginning - about your post concerning CC students being given some preference over 4 year students at the colleges listed, do you have anything to back that up. I don't mean to argue, it is just that I am a CC student in Texas trying to narrow down my list and still be practical. Two schools that I am really interested in are Amherst and Swat, but I could never find anything saying they necessarily like cc students, and considering they only took around 20-30 students I want to make sure it's worth it to try. I REALLY hope your information posted is true, and from the personal experience you've stated of ppl from your CC going on to amazing universities, it sounds like it is.</p>
<p>lmao i'm sorry i didn't really look at the dates...i figured beginning may be gone now but it was worth a shot. anyone else have an answer to my question...it doesn't necessarily have to be beginning.</p>
<p>Are there any other specific disadvantages of spending the first couple of years at a community college?</p>
<p>It sounds as if it's cheaper, easier, and your chance at transferring to an Ivy or similar top college to get your bachelors goes up. Surely there must be some catch then, other than possibly being bored out of your mind for the first couple of years taking classes which you could likely sleep through and still pass?</p>
<p>Is it wise to go to a CC(which i'm doing) then after your first year, trasnfer to a 4-year? I am thinking about going to UConn right after this first year in CC. Should I, or should I wait till I get my associates?</p>
<p>I think the catch would be that it's a vortex... you'll be sucked into the cycle of staying at a CC for 5 years if you're not strong enough.</p>
<p>As long as you do pretty well at a CC you generally have little or no problem transferring into a state school. However, it is not at all the right route to take if you want to transfer into one of the top schools (with the exception of CCC students, lucky bastards). If you're going that route, the better thing to do would be to attend your state's flagship university for a year or two and try to transfer. It is considerably harder to transfer into an ivy from a community college.</p>
