Going to Community College and Transfering To a University

Transfer Students

<p>I recently decided to go to Community College due to financial reasons. I did well in high school and I was even accepted to a couple of Universities, I just cant afford them. I am worried that I am ruining my chances of getting into good schools by being a CC transfer. Does anyone have any CC transfer success stories or good advice? I am really upset that I cant go to a University. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!</p>

<p>whoever told you that or however you came to that conclusion is totally wrong. i personally go to a cc myself and although a university would be much better, it is cheaper and it is more convenient. this a fact: when you transfer from high school to a university, they require ACT/SAT scores etc. and you DONT have any college credit prior to going so thats a big negative and the competitiveness gets a lot bigger. they will make long decisions and make sure they choose the best of the best. by they i mean the school selection committee. so they will put a lot om emphasis on EC, clubs, organizations, GRADES, scores etc. likewise when you transfer from a cc, it gets easier. they do not require SAT.ACT scores and do not require the best of the best gpa. not trying to imply that you should just put the minimum work in . but also at cc, i met some of the best proffessors, students wont be as snobby and competitive as they would at a university and i have reciieved academic awards and i find the environment to be much more relaxed. although there are people that just dont give a crap about their edu. and just go there to waste time but it all does honestly come down to how seriouslly YOU take it. So no, i dont think you are making a mistake, i actually think you are making a really good one</p>
