[quote=Anonymous]I actually attended community college for two years then attended UC Berkeley.  I graduated with honors and went on to top 20 law school.  I did it so save money, but I think I received a better education at community college rather than if I had started at UCB because the classes were smaller and actually more rigorous in the sense that I had papers due every work, more tests, etc. than my friends at UCB.  Also I was actually taught by the teachers and not TAs.  Perhaps it was easier to get an "A" at CC, but that works also to your advantage at CC as you won't have lower grades from the first 2 years dragging down your GPA.  You graduate from university with just the gpa of the last two years at university.  Hope that makes sense!

Also, two of my teachers were retired from UCB and were fantastic!!  They would host parties at their homes for students and we'd get to know their families. It was a friendly "community".

I feel like Californians are FAR more comfortable with the community college to university path than DMV folk.  Perhaps there is a good reason for this-- perhaps the community colleges just aren't as good as the ones in CA?

TL/DR-- I attended CC prior to university in California and have no regrets.

Hope that helps![/quote]
