[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I teach at a community college and for the most part, each kid I teach who has a planned intention of transferring to a 4-year institution is motivated, smart, hardworking, and succeeds in that goal. Screw you to demean that, and screw your judgey jealous comments. [/quote]

Different poster here. I've actually spent a little time looking at the issue of CCs vs 4-year schools. I'm not actually trying to be insulting to those who choose community colleges but it is a well-known fact that community college as a whole do not have the same quality of offerings as 4-year schools - a problem that community colleges acknowledge. And they have terrible student retention rates.  While I agree that community college is an important piece of the higher education puzzle, I would always advise a kid to try and go the 4-year route first. And I think many parents on this forum would do the same.  [/quote]
Not necessarily.
You can often get to better college with transfer agreement between schools with much less money and efforts. From NOVA to UVA. From MC to UMD CP. No problem. Just get good grades thats is  it.
You will not need to go through SAT/ GRE, EC, essays  and all that craziness.
Also there are kids who are not very good at certain subjects. Like kid who is not good at Math, or not good at Writing etc (specially 2e kids). For them that easy A or B are priceless. Just take these prerequisites  with enough As in your favorite subjects and then transfer. All those Bs will stay behind and will not damage your College GPA. If you do not need them for your major - that is win-win.[/quote]
