fieldbears: elfwreck: THIS THIS THIS. There is a value in a four-year college over community colleges. That value is “integrate with the culture of the college”: meet students from different backgrounds; meet professors who can help your career later; connect with student politics and activism; join clubs; meet students from other colleges during public events. Almost none of that is available at a college on lockdown. Get your actual educ requirements covered as simply and cheaply as you can. Oh, and most community colleges actually have a coherent system for online classes, because they’ve been doing some of them for years. Some of the universities were given two weeks’ notice to convert their entire body of coursework to the internet. I went to a non-community state college and I would recommend this to anyone who can do so. Especially now that you can pick a community college that is best for you, not necessarily within travelling range. Even at my Appropriately Old, Appropriately Prestigious four year university, 101 classes that fulfilled gen eds were not great. They certainly weren’t the peak of what Fancy College had to offer. The professors were usually bored with the material, preferring their 400-level content and students. The classrooms were usually full of people who were only there to fulfill the gen ed requirement and their hearts were elsewhere. There are many reputable community colleges who could give you as good or better 101 courses and save you from so much unnecessary debt. edit: someone rebageled this and mentioned credits transferring and that’s a GREAT POINT that I took for granted - ensure BEFOREHAND that the community college’s classes THAT YOU ARE TAKING will transfer to the college you plan to transfer to. don’t assume because the cc is well accredited that it will definitely work. CHECK. MAKE PHONE CALLS. people have been fucked by this so many times -- source link
