<p>Starting at CC is not necessarily a bad option, but it is not the only option you have. However, UMich’s transfer credit listings indicate that it is relatively stingy with transfer credit from other colleges (CC or four year), so it may be preferable to start at UMich as a frosh rather than transfer there. For other four year schools, check their transfer credit listings to see if they accept course work in your possible majors from the CCs you are considering.</p>
