Good points about community colleges. I know that having a degree from a university is a punch on your ticket that people recognize, so it’s important you get there, and if a community college is a stepping stone, then all the better.

Except for a few specialized areas, most of what you learn about the business world is found in the business world, not in school, so getting yourself through college and out into the business world is an important focus. If a community college helps you do that, all the better.

Also, an important point that many prospective employers note is working your way through school. This shows initiative, determination, focus and a can-do attitude. If you have to do this in order to get a higher education that you can afford, then by all means make use of a community college.

Some interesting views on community college. I had many of the same advantages by attending a fairly small college and choosing a small major (I was the only graduate in biochemistry). As a result, I was frequently in classes with half a dozen or fewer students, and one good scholarship enabled me to attend tuition free. Still, had I not gotten such a good deal right out of high school, I’m sure that community college would have been advantageous.

If I had it to do over again I would go to a community college for as long as I could before attending a university.

All 4 points are solid. I have been through the wringer of a full university experience and in hindsight wish I would’ve taken this route (CC first).

Take heed to this article high schoolers!

I did a circuitous route went to University of Washington for a year, started the next year and 2 weeks in just couldn’t deal with the enormous environment, pulled out for that quarter then started the next quarter at Community College. Best choice I could have made for me, I was getting lost (in many ways) at the UW. I blasted through Community College with some renewed vigor and then transferred up to WWU. Community college is a great start for saving a ton of money, for actually learning something and not spending 2 years of your college career being weeded out of whatever program you are looking into.
