Just because it’s at a community college does not automatically mean that it’s going to be easier. Just bear that in mind. I’m in a community college, and the math program here is very rigorous. And I’m a math person…so…take that for whatever it’s worth.

You’ll definitely be at a disadvantage not having a solid foundation in the precalc topics. Personally, I wouldn’t recommend it…but if you spend a good amount of time previewing topics and getting prepared for it, it won’t be impossible.
