Help a brotha out. (I need advice)

<p>I'm actually a girl, but that's not the point. I need advice and have nobody to go to, so be nice!</p>

<p>I'm graduating this June and plan to move a few hours away to Philadelphia for school. I didn't get in to the two places I wanted most but was accepted to another university (La Salle) in the very north part of the city (a not so good area). I like the place and all, despite it not being what I had ideally wished for. What I really want to do is attend a community college in Philly for a year and try to get into the places I was rejected from a few months ago. The CC is in also not in the best part of the city but is still closer to Center City than the university. However, my parents are not at all into the idea of me having an apartment in a city right out of high school.</p>

<p>I'm pretty sheltered so I understand where my parents are coming from but naturally, I love the idea of having my own apartment as opposed to a dorm that is shared with others.
They want me on a campus. I like the CC idea because it will give me time to try to compensate for my not so good high school grades and it's cheaper. But there are some aspects of the university that I like a lot, too. It's just the location that I don't like much.</p>

<p>The final decision is really up to my parents, but should I attend the university for a year to try it out (as I said, there are some great parts about it) or go to a community college? halpz!</p>

<p>sorry if this is insanely long or posted in the wrong place and thanks if you actually read it all. </p>

<p>p.s. is it possible to get enough credits during one year at a CC to transfer to a university? I don't want to stay there for two years.</p>

<p>Umm, why do you want an apartment? It’s much easier to meet friends and establish a social network in a dorm, especially freshman year. I would not recommend going the apartment route at all. Unless all you want to do is to save money for when you go somewhere else.</p>

<p>Definitely go to community college.</p>

<p>If you can afford going to the four-year, do that. What if you don’t get into those other schools from CC? Then what? You can go to the four-year, apply to transfer, and if it doesn’t work out then you can just suck it up for two more years. What were the two schools?</p>
