<p>I used to attend Clark Atlanta University but hated it there and I withdrew after my first semester. My cousin advised me to attend community college for two years. I was hoping to apply and attend a regular university in New England in the fall but I was told it would be better financially to go to community college. What should I do?</p>
<p>Make an appointment with the counselors at your local CC and talk with them about the transfer rates for their students. They can give you some good ideas.</p>
<p>One of the nice thing about most community colleges is that enrolling in one does not represent a big financial or personal commitment. Try enrolling, take a few courses and see what you think. As suggested, talk to a counselor about your plans. If you decide that you don’t want to continue, no problem, and you now have some more college courses on your transcript.</p>
<p>So you didn’t like CAU because it’s a HBC?</p>
<p>Secondly how are you not aware that community colleges are better financially than universities?</p>
<p>Thirdly if you want some serious counseling try taking the time to write a concise synopsis of your current situation instead of stating an obvious fact (see second question) and asking what you should do.</p>
<p>You know what, nevermind. My advice is to do whatever your heart desires and all your dreams will come true.</p>
<p>Go to a CC. Oftentimes, universities prefer people transferring than “FOB” freshman out of high school. Also, transfers tend to do better than those who are attending as freshman. </p>
<p>And, you know what? I’d take a gamble on a California community college – $36 per unit and ability to transfer to Berkeley or UCLA? Oh, yikes.</p>
