Is community college really a bad choice?

<p>hi guys i was accepted by a four year college named new york city college, but i really don't want to go there because first i has the same majors as community college and second it's one and the half hours from my home. i wasn't woking very hard and i got 87 grade point average in high school. i was thinking about staying in CC and transfer to a better 4 year state college after 2 years and In community i can earn higher GPA. but My father say that in community college i will less stuff ,the student are not as good as the students in four years college and will probably have an bad influence on me. also the pressure there has is not as intense as four year's. according to my performance in high school can you make a suggestion about either stay in community college and transfer to a better college by earning a higher average or go to four year college and take the pressure?</p>

<p>The simple truth is that the single largest group of traditional aged college students in the US is comprised of those who are enrolled at their local community colleges. Lots of them have the talent for a “better” school, but don’t have the money, or have other family responsibilities that limit their mobility. What you get out of your college education is mostly up to you. You can get an excellent education at many community colleges. Make an appointment with the counselors at the community college closest to where you live, and talk with them about this.</p>

<p>You might want to ask your question in the Community College Forum, or in the Transfer Forum. Here are the links for you:

<p>You’ll want to check whether the freshman and sophomore level courses needed for your intended major(s) are available at the community college and that they are transferable to the four year college(s) that you are interested in.</p>

<p>Community college can be suitable for many students. A student unsure of what s/he wants to study and is not highly advanced in a subject (i.e. wanting to take junior and senior level courses as a freshman or sophomore) may well find that the community college to junior transfer route is an inexpensive path that does not put as much institutional and financial pressure to decide one’s major on a four semester clock.</p>
