Is community college the right fit?

Community college was a different experience but one that I enjoyed. I had the opportunity to meet people I likely would not have met at a four-year university. I ultimately ended up transferring to Cornell University. I never wanted to go to community college right out of high school but when I didn’t get into my top school choice out of high school I also didn’t want to settle on going to a university I wouldn’t be happy at. Just plan (take the general classes, prereqs for your major), be involved (explore things you enjoy and create something that you are passionate about), surround yourself around like minded people (there should be clubs and honors societies you can join like Phi Theta Kappa where you will meet cool ambitious go getters). In the end you will get that experience once you transfer while exploring your interests at a fraction of the cost. In total, I took out a loan of $6,000 and have a degree from a $50,000 a year awesome university.

Don’t let get people in your head, do what is right for you :)
