Would you turn down $30,000 to go to a Community College?

Applying to College

<p>Here's the deal: would you pick a reputable University with a full ride scholarship (we're talking $30,000 dollars) or a community college? This is my dilemma! Seems pretty easy decision but consider this: the University doesn't really have the major that I want, and instead offers something like a general biology degree. However, my heart is set on in UCLA since I was little, where they do have my more specific majors I am interested in, like microbiology and molecular genetics. Now I understand that I can transfer to UCLA from a community college, but I have no chances of transferring from the University. So the hard part is deciding which should I value more: the money issue (b/c throwing away $30, 000 is tough) or accomplshing what I always wanted by graduating with the specific major I want! I need your help, or any opinion you can offer me. Thank you so much!</p>

<p>that's ridiculous. the name of the major doesn't matter. it's your coursework that does.</p>

<p>and this is your decision, its a preference question ur asking... our opinions arent important</p>

<p>And you CAN transfer to UCLA from a university. go to the university for 2 yrs and then apply to UCLA. Who knows, you might end up loving the university and if you apply to UCLA and dont get in at least you are getting a free education! What if you went to the community college and didnt get in? that would stink even more!</p>
