<p>Hi, Prospective Bio-Chem Major who can go to community college for free (stars scholarship) BUT my community college doesn’t have Bio-Chem (but not too much of an issue I can Major chem Minor Bio). I got accepted to Drexel University 21,000$ scholarship/year and I’m in honors and 5 year co-op program. I’m torn between BCC then Rowan (in state so tuition is very little+if my GPA holds up through BCC i get a transpher stars II scholarship), BCC then Drexel, or just drexel or just rowan. Is the money saved by going to BCC worth it? Am I loosing opportunities if I turn down Drexel? As silly as I may sound about “social life” but i do want to college experience. Being away from home a bit and handling myself on my own. What about the whole “not everything transfers” issue? Opinions?</p>
<p>I can’t believe no one commented I am stuck in the same boat. I want to do Computer science at psu. But might go to cc to save and transfer to Rutgers.</p>
<p>Lots of people go to CC to save money. My own kid did, then transferred to an in-state public U. Got an excellent base at the CC, and never had a class there with more than 25 students. What we saved those first two years is helping to pay for the last two.</p>
<p>What does and doesn’t transfer will depend on the CC where you start and the U where you end up. Ask at the CC you are looking at. The transfer advisor there should be able to help you plan your program.</p>
<p>Were do I sign up at</p>
<p>Your “major” at a community college is not nearly as important as your major at your baccalaureate institution. If you want to major in Bio-chem, just look at the requirements for that major at the school where you hope to transfer to. You will probably see that virtually all the courses students take in their first two years are offered at most community colleges (Math through calculus, one-year Biology majors course sequence, one-year Chem majors course sequence, one-year Organic Chem course sequence, English Comp, Social Science and Humanities electives). As noted above, if you follow the same sequence and make sure that all courses you take have transfer equivalence, you should be in the same place as baccalaureate students who have completed their Sophomore year.</p>
