Will going to CC mean less chance for scholarships when I transfer?

Check with the school you are thinking of transferring to. Our flagship Us have transfer scholarships. They are not usually quite as high as potential freshman scholarships, but they are as good as the one you have been offered ($2500).

If you are not sure what you want then CC is a perfectly reasonable choice. You will get your basics out of the way at a much cheaper price. I am an old student who just completed 2 years at a CC and transferred to the flagship State U. I think the classes at the CC might have been a little easier. But I also found the teachers, in general, to be more interested and invested in their students. So there are pluses and minuses. In the end your degree will come from the University you eventually graduate from. Do what suits you, and don’t worry about what your friends think.
