<p>A poll would have worked best here but I can't make one, so just reply with a yes or no I suppose.</p>
<p>Would you agree that there are generally less things going on both academically and socially for CC students than for UC students?</p>
<p>I don’t think it was ever a question; yes.</p>
<p>I just want to make sure I understand this question correctly. You are asking if there is less things going on socially and academically with community college students than UC students? If that is what you are asking, I think it is an extremely stupid question and I will reply later, but please confirm.</p>
<p>I think it really depends on the person but I would believe their are more opportunities academically and socially for UC students.</p>
<p>Wouldn’t that really depend on the UC vs. CC you are comparing? I mean, I heard UCSD was pretty dead tbh. ;)</p>
<p>Of course it would Edward04, but the key word was generally. And generally, I think it is apparent UC’s have more available both academically and socially than do CCC.</p>
<p>academcially yes but socially it depends on the person… of coz</p>
<p>I agree that it is a case-to-case situation. Everything is not black and white. Even so, I would have to lean more towards CC students having more going on. I dont think it always depends on the institution you attend for you to have a good education. It is sometimes about what you can do with the situation. If you dont go to a UC straight out of high school then you have to go to a CC. I have taken courses at my CC with professors who taught at Berkeley. I have also paid $2,500 for a course that is offered at my CC by the same instructor that teaches it at the Academy of Art University where I paid that crazy amount of money. </p>
<p>Many students who go straight to a UC and don’t attend a CC are so young that they are somewhat inexperienced with socializing. I think maturity is a factor to consider here, and there are a lot of CC students who are not 18,19,20 or 21. Though there are many, there certainly is a group that is above age 21 and attended a CC before a UC. As far as socializing go, I would definitely have to say that CC students have more going on. I think many have some interesting life stories about where they have gone in the world, what they have done and what brought them to this place latter in their life.</p>
<p>From the CCCs I know (3), they’re pretty much commuter schools: you get in and go to class, maybe chill in the student building in between your classes, and you get out (work?). There’s not much school spirit, if any, no dorm life obviously, no school wide events, low club membership, and the list goes on. In short, there’s no passion for anything other than getting the heck out of there by transferring</p>
<p>Lets not forget about the kids that are there because their parents are making them go. How about the kids in my school who enroll until they get their financial aid checks and then drop out. The first time I went to my CC it reminded me way too much of high school. UC in the fall baby!!!</p>
<p>Gosh yes, I’ve made friends here, about considering that I want the community feel and I want to be part of school pride. Maaan, transferring is gonna be great. CCC has been really boring socially,a lot of people my age at CCC really don’t now what they want yet and it kind of irritates me. Most of my friends are ambitious focused people, and I only find that at CCC in the older students. I don’t think it’s too muh to ask for the same in people my age to have their act together but still have good fun every once in a while.</p>
