<p>One thing I’d check with both schools is how your CC credit will transfer. If one will offer credit towards core curriculum requirements and/or major requirements, that will be a huge plus. If the CC credit will only be transferred over as “electives”, then it’s going to be very, very hard for you to graduate on time. The extra year(s?) will be expensive.</p>
<p>Another thing: if you’re going to be burning up the turnpike driving back and forth between Philly and Pittsburgh, budget for hitting at least one deer a year. I say that half-jokingly, but the transportation costs are real.</p>
