Does it matter where you transfer from?

even as a CC student, I completely agree. The argument of “adversity in the face of poor conditions” really doesn’t hold much either. Many people don’t realize that CCs (at least where I attend) are taught by professors of other schools, and professors with Ph.d.s in their field.
Run down:
Probability and Statistics: Taught by a prof with a Ph.D. from CMU
Philosophy: field researcher for +20 years
Spanish II: Prof of something at UPitt
History: taught by a prof with a Ph.D. from Harvard
International Econ: At the UPitt with my CCs cross enrollment program.

In all honesty, my CC is competitive with local colleges, with many professors having degrees from “prestigious” universities (sorry, I do hate using that word but it will get the point across). Why then should I get special treatment because of the funding and name of my college? honestly I don’t know but if it does work to my advantage, I will not be one to turn it away.
