<p>hey guys and girls, I’m in come crappy community college and wondering how bad it would be to take science courses there.</p>
<p>I’d suggest taking just the core requirements for a degree when you’re at the community college. After completing these basic courses, transfer. Understandably, you’ll probably have to take some science courses at the CC, but take the majority at the University.</p>
<p>nybrian, it ain’t where you start , it’s where you finish. I know plenty of lawyers, dentists, and doctors that got their start at community colleges. Work your rear off there and transfer to a good school you can afford. You can get there, and don’t let 'em tell you it’s not possible. I’ve seen it done. There are scholarships for the juco honor society at a number of 4-year schools. (Phi Theta Kappa? Or something like that.) Good luck.</p>
<p>thank you for the answers and for the extreme hopitality</p>
<p>I agree with chaz90, the community college classes won’t be as thorough or challenging, so if you’re taking them to get requirements out of the way, fine, but if you’ll be continuing that field of study you may want to find out what texts are in use at your destination university and look them over to gauge your preparedness. My nephew took basic science at Purdue and a community college and he thought the classes covered basically the same material but in less depth, with easier tests, etc. - and with higher grades for him.</p>
<p>When I was in school we had one transfer student from cc who looked like he was going to die from overwork and stress, whereas by junior year we were used to the pace. He got job interviews that some of us didn’t however, because his grade point was higher owing to the cc classes. Pros and cons.</p>
