[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hey OP  do you mind telling us which CC you are considering for your child?  Is it NVCC or MC for instance?  You might have more people sharing their experience if you tell us which one your child is considering
Each community college has articulation agreements with specific 4 year universities   For instance, MC has articulation agreements with UMD, Towson etc and even Georgetown. For UMD, you are guaranteed admission as long as you have an Associates degree and meet the GPA cutoff. I don’t remember what it is - it might be 3.0. Most students earn an Associates degree in a specific discipline (eg Business) and take care of most of their distributional requirements as well as intro classes and prerequisites before they transfer 
If you want to attend a “limited enrollment program “ at UMD (think Engineering, Nursing, Business), admission is not guaranteed. You have to get top grades, good recommendations, strong ECs etc.   
While it is very competitive to get into a LEP at the flagship state university, it is easier to get into these programs at Shady Grove for instance and the student experience at Shady grove is great as is their job placement. 
What else did you want to know?  
The California poster had some great insights into the educational experience- small class sizes, committed professors etc. 
Tell us a little more about what you are interested in learning

The above is really important when your student is thinking about a path to a 4 year degree. Check out the agreements the CC has with BA-granting colleges and universities. Students may need to take certain classes, in addition to the GPA requirement, to qualify.[/quote]
