Why community colleges aren't that great an idea

<p>In California Community Colleges the California Master Plan ([Major</a> Features of the California Master Plan for Higher Education](<a href=“http://www.ucop.edu/acadinit/mastplan/mpsummary.htm]Major”>Major Features of the California Master Plan for Higher Education)) has created a pretty streamlined process for students who wish to transfer to a UC or CSU from CCC. It’s actually quite easy to do if you’re able to dedicate yourself to course planning, and have the time and money necessary to be a successful transfer student. But seriously, everything is at your fingertips for CCC students. Assist.org has made it extremely easy to see what pre-req course you need for your major. IGETC sets the guidelines for completing your CSU/UC GE segments. And things like TAG and UCLA’s TAP are tremendously helpful. </p>

<p>While California is in a budget crises and some community colleges ARE quite crowded, if you are resourceful you will get through CC in 2-3 years and hopefully transfer to the college of your choice, especially public CA uni’s.</p>
