Community college is awesome! It gives you time to take classes in a variety of fields without paying a ton of $$. The teaching level is also pretty high, so you have a little more time to build college confidence before launching into a top University.

I went to three different community colleges (so I could try out living in different parts of California) before going to UC Berkeley where I breezed through straight A’s and graduated Phi Beta Kappa.

I LOVED my community college experience and urge my students to go there when starting off college immediately doesn’t make sense.

You can test out your anxiety level (which can skyrocket in college) and better prepare yourself for the challenge of a more rigorous institution.

Many of my cc classes were just as hard (though different in style, of course) as some UCB classes. I would definitely recommend you take at least one semester before deciding if you’ll stay at cc or go to Uni.

Some universities (like UCB) don’t even look at SAT scores. So you have a lot of win-win scenarios going for you at cc.

If you have more questions I’m happy to answer them.
