I read this article <a href=“Many California community college students need 4 years to graduate”>http://www.latimes.com/local/education/la-me-college-study-20140701-story.html</a> from another thread on the forum, “CCC Students Averaging 4 years to Graduate - Report”</p>
<p>From personal experience ( I was also a CC kid) a lot of points were accurate even for full time students. Combined with the fact Stem majors typically have more lower divisional classes to take, it can be a lengthy road. This isn’t to say 2 years isn’t possible. Like you said, placement is a large factor, but with continual budget cuts the longer times to transfer is becoming more of a trend. </p>

<p>Like Cayton said, it’s possible, I think it would depend how impacted CS is there. I don’t know for CS, but engineering is a set of majors that’s hard to transition into. Additionally, like you said, it might be difficult for op to get courses since they don’t have priority. On the other hand, Since op would be a junior, they would have more priority over a freshman so it could work. </p>
