Is it a bad decision to stay home and go to a community college than to a university?
Asked by matt gI got accepted to the lower-tiered UC schools, such as UCR, UCM, and UCSC. However, I'm having mixed feelings and part of me wants to go to a community college and aim towards transferring to a higher, more prestigious school. Some of my best friends whom I've known for 10+ years are also staying home, and I feel a bit lonely knowing to be separating from them

I have heard from a LOT of ffolks that their kids have an easier time at college if they first go to a junior college then transfer to university. My friend's son was second in his graduating class, and his girlfriend was validictorian... she flunked out of Texas A&M after just one semester bc she couldn't take the pressure and keep up with the work. I say get some college life experience by getting ana apartment with friends near home, take classes at a local school, then try a 4 year university. But be sure that the classes you take will transfer to a 4 year university! A lot of beginner classes don't transfer, so ask before registering! By the way... I am graduating from a junior college next month after 4 years. But I hae already been accepted to a 4 year university into a Masters program. I think that life would have been really hard if I had started at university first. Give yourself some time to adjust. If you aren't sure, go easy on yourself and start small. And GOOD LUCK! I am sure you will do GREAT whatever you choose to do!!!!!
