<p>Has anyone of you taken classes at community college before? Do you guys recommend doing so as they are cheaper than ucla?</p>
<p>UCLA has a non dual-enrollment clause so that any classes you take at a community college while going to UCLA you won’t get credit for. So the only way you’d be able to do this would be if you took a semester (or more) off of UCLA. Although this seems to ask the obvious: if you wanted to finish your GEs at a CC, why not just transfer into UCLA as you’re finishing your GEs and focus solely on your major? </p>
<p>you get less out of CC classes than university classes because most people in CCs have a really shtty work ethic and BS everything, or because people have really difficult schedules so a high workload would be difficult for many students. It also depends on the class. i barely missed anything in my symbolic logic class than i did if i would have taken it at UCLA. And my ethics class, while it probably would have been immensely interesting at UCLA, also was interesting in its own way at my CC. at the end of the day, CC classes are usually easier (and cheaper) but also generally offer an equcation nowhere close to the level of one you’d get in a university like UCLA.</p>
<p>You can take community college classes for credit during the summer…</p>
<p>And when I took symbolic logic at UCLA, more than half the class got 100% on the first midterm, and 30+% got 100% on the 2nd midterm and final. But maybe that’s not what you meant by missing anything.</p>
<p>@ThisCouldBeHeavn, did you have to petition or fill out some kind of form to get credit for those classes? If so, when/where did you do that? Also, where can you find out what classes will transfer?</p>
<p>here is a starting point for summer classes: [Transfer</a> Credit from Non-UCLA Summer Sessions - UCLA Undergraduate Admissions](<a href=“http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/transfer_credit/trcrss.htm]Transfer”>http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/transfer_credit/trcrss.htm)</p>
<p>Erm, the link posted above says you can get credit from a community college as a UCLA student, no?</p>
<p>Yes you can, I’ve done it before and you just have to order a transcript from the CC to be sent to UCLA and whatever credit and GE requirement it satisfies will be filled. </p>
<p>I do not recommend this however, since GEs are supposed to be easy As and the GPA does not transfer from CC. Make sure you don’t get a C- or below though.</p>
<p>Do you pay by the classes you take at UCLA or does the tuition cover the cost of your classes? (Sorry if that’s a noob question, I’ve never seen that info anywhere.) If you pay by class, would the money saved by taking some GEs at a community college be significant?</p>
<p>during the school year, you pay tuition for classes. you pay the same amount for 12 units as 20.
during the summer, you pay by unit</p>
