<p>So now that I am done with finals, and officially leaving community college(barring an absolute bombing of a few finals that will earn me C's), I have come to the surprising realization that I am actually going to miss this place. Leave it to chance that the last semester I am spending here, I end up meeting some really cool people, 8 of which have become really good friends of mine. Even in chemistry, I formed a study group similar to the group dynamic of the Spanish study group from the show Community. Its really sad that I am leaving.</p>
<p>I don’t really think it was “Chance.” There’s just a more relaxing senioritis feeling about it being my last year that makes everything more laid back and makes it easier to build good friendships compared to when I was gunning hard for those A’s. Maybe that’s just me though.</p>
<p>i feel this way too :(</p>
<p>i met real cool kids this year. they made the experience bearable and well imma miss them.</p>
<p>:(</p>
<p>but we will have new friends in the upcoming year! yay!</p>
<p>I enjoyed my CC too, it was small and <em>most</em> of the teachers were great.</p>
<p>On a side note…can a C really jeopardize your chances of transferring? I know a D can, but a C??</p>
<p>Well as a general rule of thumb, C’s=2.0 and you have to maintain a 3.0, so if you get too many C’s and not enough A’s then yes. Of course, they do it by a “Case by case basis” so any one’s particular scenario is different. I remember reading that someone heard that someone didn’t have any problems with a 2.8 or something, but don’t quote me on it.</p>
<p>it was a great experience in which I met many unforgettable people whom I will forever remember, but I’m sitting in my french class right now and I can’t be happier to leave…she is a something that rhymes with punt. I’m sure I’ll miss it when it’s all said and done, and if I rack up a big debt at UC I’ll be back p/t to delay my loans, that’s for sure. it was without a doubt a major experience in my life that I couldn’t have had at a univ.</p>
<p>a…runt? That’s not nice. You shouldn’t judge someone just because they’re smaller than you. Tsk tsk. (Kidding). </p>
<p>In terms of the debt, I like how you used “if.” As if there were some miraculous way to avoid it. I wish I could be so optimistic.</p>
<p>yeah…a runt…</p>
<p>anyways, without spoiling it, I found room+food+parking for $600/mo, so ‘if’ may be for real!</p>
<p>I’m not going to miss CC. I had a miserable time here. At least I’m a one-year transfer…thank god.</p>
<p>I’ll move on quickly but I absolutely love the opportunity that my cc gave me.</p>

<p>I could not agree anymore as much as I might hate to admit that. I too formed a study group that was similar to the Spanish study group from community. There is even a troy and abed duo! Plus a shirley! lol. I met the coolest people the last smstr I will be at CC. Looking back I wouldn’t say I was unhappy that I ended up at a CC for my first two years…
(you might think I’m a hypocrite nic haha)</p>
<p>lol @ somebody else on college confidential that is at a community college likes the show community. There is so much in that show that I can relate to…hahaha</p>
<p>I met some cool friends but hell no I will not miss CC. Have had to deal with too much incompetency the last few years, i’ve gone insane.</p>
<p>I’m not going to miss it… because I’ll most likely still be there next year.</p>
<p>CC life was alright. I made a lot of lasting friends at SMC, but I’m sure as hell not going to miss the commute from the OC to SMC every frakkin day for the past three years! Oh, what I sacrificed for a better transfer percentage… T_T</p>
<p>Goodbye, Santa Monica!</p>

<p>what were you thinking!? elco is half as far and has just as good (if not better) UCLA transfer setup!!! you’re crazy!!!</p>
<p>Aside from all the hot girls, and one exceptional tutor who assisted me in getting through all my dreaded math classes, Im not going to miss much. Im really excited about what the future is going to bring…</p>
<p>@mkcman17</p>
<p>I know, right? -_- I have a history with SMC, so I wanted to go back and settle things. Some of my friends from SMC, Cerritos College, and Cypress College did end up switching over to Elco, but they just ended up reverting back to HS party mode (which is what I was afraid of doing). I guess considering the pain in the ass that the commute was, it kinda paid off.</p>
<p>@dango</p>
<p>well hey, it’s all over now and you reached your goals. so in that it was worth it! I’m not sure how SMC is, but elco is VERY highschool-ish. for a while I found myself still going to a lot of HS parties, but then realized I might be becoming ‘that guy’ who shows up to football games in his letterman when he’s 27. most of my classes had like a 40% drop out rate @elco…90% of success at JC is showing up IMO.</p>
<p>I’m aware that my study habits and goals are different from the rest of my classmates, but I really will miss CC too! I actually think people are a lot more open minded at CC. For instance, just being friendly in general and seeing random people help out the disabled kids around campus even though they totally didn’t have to. Just the small things that are memorable. There’s no big talk competition for whoever gets the best grade or whatever. People are chill and great to talk to. I also met a lot of interesting and diverse people because at CC, they come from all over the place- working moms, people back from the military, students who are working full time and going to school, etc.</p>
<p>I am not. My community college was just way too full of ghetto people and crazies. I had a tough time making friends simply because it was hard to find anyone remotely sane.
I know I’m going to miss my high school friends though, the one’s that also went to community college. Seeing them on campus was nice.</p>
