Marc,


If you go to a community college for two years, you should end up with your Associate's Degree. If you have that, you can transfer to most schools and they will accept all of your credits. If you have a chance to go to a university, I think that would be the best bet to go.

In my opinion, there are a couple of factors that will help you make a decision.  The first are your finances. If paying for a 4-yr program will be difficult then considering community college is an excellent idea because it will save you a lot of money. However, the second factor that you need to consider is whether the credits you'll be taking at community college will all transfer to the 4-yr program. This is important because not all colleges accept credits from other schools or will have a limit on the number they'll accept. You'll have to do some research on the 4-yr program you intend on attending to see what their policy is.

Bryan’s Answer

If you are unsure about your major, or if you end up changing majors, the junior college credits may be less expensive.  I transferred into a 4-year university after attending a junior college for 2 years, and I found that I was able to get more interactions with the professors at the junior college due to the much smaller class sizes.  The quality can be every bit as good at a junior college as a four-year.  However, if you can afford to go to the 4-year and if you already are very sure about your major, then it might give you an advantage to learn the ropes at the 4-year university when you are still taking the easier classes in your first two years.  The courses you take once you have chosen a major are probably going to be harder, so if you transfer in as a junior for example, you will need to adjust quickly and build relationships fast.  Also, I would recommend putting in some extra effort at the junior college so you will be ready for those 3rd year courses which can get harder quickly.
