Why do people seem to suggest gap year over community college?

<p>

<p>Which reminded me of another point… I looked at a few random schools, and mostly 1st year core classes transferred. It reminded me of the problem of some degrees, like business, that has sequence of classes that can take a long time to get through. First accounting, then finance & a few other classes, and then you can take upper level classes. If you can’t get through the specialized intro sequence, then when you transfer to the 4 year college, you may have 2 years worth of credit, but still need to go for 3 more years just to fit in all the classes in the proper sequence.</p>

<p>Some degrees require you to hit the ground running to get through in 4 years, and pad your schedule in the soph/jr years with your distribution classes.</p>
