    I did as close to that as I could, going to community then transferring to a 4 year. The problem is deeper than people wanting extra stuff, part of the problem is that nobody respects community college degrees, and they’re usually 2 year programs.

      Definitely. I started out at a private 4 year, then transferred to the community college back home. I always heard the school had a shaky reputation, but my experience here has been a thousand times better than the private university. (Not to say it’s for everyone, but it’s absolutely a better fit for me). But if I do decide to go for a BA, it’ll have to be at another school, cause they don’t offer any here.

        Yeah, it was more or less the same experience for me. My community college was the same quality teaching (and in some aspects it was better). Which just makes it infuriating that 4 year community college programs aren’t really an option.
