<p>If I am planning to transfer, which should I go to? I don't particularly want to do business, so there's really no benefit in going to Baruch...and don't some community colleges have transfer agreements to 4-year colleges? Do CUNYs have this too?</p>
<p>Money isn't an issue. I have a full ride (though I have a feeling they're gonna jerk me in the future) at Baruch</p>
<p>Nobody? Very simple question really. A bad 4-year college in the city that doesn’t offer anything special academically or socially, or a community college?</p>
<p>Yes, some community college offer transfer agreements. A good example is NYU’s CCTOP for Steinhardt. I guess it depends what you are interested in? Liberal arts? If you are in the Macaulay Honors program at Baruch, then that is definitely worthwhile.</p>
<p>I think if you have a full ride, then stick with Baruch over a CC because it’s slightly more prestigous.</p>
<p>I’m in the same dilemma… sort of. I’m deciding between Lehman and bmcc.</p>
<p>Anyway to answer your question, definately choose Baruch. More “apt” student body( not by much :{ ), more internship opportunities, slighty more prestigous.</p>
<p>Baruch is ok, but I prefer queens college. I went there for one semester.</p>

</p>
<p>Can you elaborate on that example? I don’t know if I’m missing something here, but that seems so ideal. Do the agreements guarantee admission given satisfaction of some criteria? </p>
<p>I honestly don’t know what I am interested in. Certainly not liberal arts or business in particular. I honestly don’t care as long as I go to a good college. (Although, I think, it helps to know so as to involve myself in activities/courses related to the major.)</p>

<p>Go to Baruch. You really have to look at “what if”. What if you do not get into NYU? And what if the only school you get into after cc is Baruch, but most of the credits don’t transfer (which happens most of the time). Baruch is actually a very good school. I’m a freshman there and I love it more than I thought I would.</p>
<p>No, the agreements do not guarantee transfer. They are merely meant to facilitate it. </p>
<p>Also, if you go to Baruch instead of a CC, you are putting yourself on track to receive a BA instead of an AA…I think that is significant. If something happens, you are still in a place where you can receive your 4 year degree without transferring.</p>
<p>exactly pinkyswore. It’s much much safer to go to Baruch.</p>
If you do end up going to a community college, in your sophomore year you can apply for the Jack Kent Cooke Transfer Scholarship (http://www.jkcf.org/scholarship-programs/undergraduate-transfer/). The scholarship not only funds you to transfer but also helps you through college and graduate school.
