<p>It really boils down to what your goals are. If you want to graduate as quickly as possible, going to a state U that will take all you CC credits may be the best course. If your goal is to go to a very rigorous 4 year college and have the full 4 year experience there, you may be better off viewing your CC courses as your version of high school and worrying about appropriate placement rather than credit.</p>
