<p>My husband started at our local community college that had a transfer agreement with University of Maryland. He majored in civil engineering. The only thing is that you wouldn’t be eligible for any freshman scholarships at the transfer college. But you can probably save more by going to a CC than you would get in scholarships anyway. My husband worked for the government and then private consultants for 10 years and then opened his own engineering consultant business. Community College didn’t hurt him at all. Good luck!</p>
