Is going to community college and then transferring to a university worth it? I know I will save money but I don't want to miss the "college experience".

Yea it makes you a chad
If you didn't have the high school experience, you won't have the college experience, probably. It's just getting drunk and going to parties.
Total lie. I never went to a single party in HS but I go to one every weekend in college. This didn’t start till sophomore year btw, freshman year was the same as HS
>college experience
Just focus on your degree.
The "college experience" is for people for who go to college straight out of high school and their parents have enough money that they're not worried about potentially getting kicked out. If that isn't you, probably
*networking
Degrees are worthless, rubbing elbows with the right people is far more essential
>Degrees are worthless
el mao
If you're a heterosexual white male no job that requires a degree is hiring you unless you're a prodigy.
Ibid. to my previous post.
>he believes this
Yes
I don't understand the point of this thread. I'm trying to figure out exactly what your goal here was. This isn't a sincere question and the image you used could be from a community college brochure. What is your true goal, OP?
you need a college degree
dont fall for the NEET meme, just get a fricking degree in something useful
yes, going to a community college then transferring is a good idea if you cant afford to go to a university right away
Yes it is. What the frick kind of "college experience" are you talking about? Getting shitfaced and fricking drunk b***hes every other week is not important; establishing your career is. That said, it's easier to get laid in CC and the stakes tend to be much lower academically, so if you that's what you mean, CC may be exactly the "college experience" you're looking for.
In CC you’re competing for pussy with poor kids, boomers too broken to work trades anymore, and minimum wage employees who have no idea WTF they wanna do with their lives.
In University you’re competing with rich semi-famous professors, D1 sports champions, spoiled fratboys, filthy rich international students with oligarch/royal parents back home, sugar daddies looking to frick tight college girls, and more.
“The college experience” is a scam. If you’re a high school loser that never parties or goes to big events or gets laid, you won’t do it in college either.
College is for studying, networking, getting your credentials up, and making fat stacks of cash when you graduate.
The kids who go in expecting wacky movie shit are the same ones who flunk out fall semester.
ITT: Losers.
The "college experience" IS your career. You go to parties, make friends, meet people and network over beers and fricking around. Staying in your room studying for your tests like an autist will land you an A in your arbitrary exam nobody gives a frick about other than the institution that's taking your money (in america anyway). Meeting your new coworker/partner/boss/employee at a college bar will lend you a job and connections. THAT'S what people who don't do any of this shit and the socially stunted morons don't understand. You've been coping since highschool and you'll cope til the day one of your classmates land a 130k/y job seemingly out of nowhere til you understand he met the right person at the right time and didn't spent his time grinding meaningless shit.
But how do you become one of the people that people need to meet to get jobs?
Be born in one of the rich families.
if you have to ask, you'll never be one.
> miss the "college experience".
Doesn’t exist anymore. College is top work for that. 2012 was the last year for that
"The college experience" is just drugs and parties. Just get cool friends and you will have that
enjoy having half your classes not count for transfer credits
lmao this
>ah sorry that counts towards "general english" not "english" you don't get shit better luck next time
I did this and I'd say it was worth it and saved me money. You can still have the "college experience" when you are a Junior/Senior.
If I could go back in time this is what I would have done. You aren't missing much
Hmmm.
It's not worth it. You're cutting your opportunities to meet new people better than you and network in half. Also vastly reducing the pool of quality people to meet to date. Also, the social aspect is 10/10, community collegecels are definitely stunted compared to people who actually attended a university all four years.
the college ‘experience’ is honestly worth more than the college ‘education’
I did my gen eds in community college. Great decision. My friends who went to uni are jealous now.
>but I don't want to miss the "college experience"
Don't make important decisions with your dick.
I regret missing out on the college experience. It's not even like I went to a community college or anything. Full scholarship to St. John's University but all I did was take the bus, go to class, and take the bus back home. I am now completely socially stunted at 30 and there is no going back.
F for you
Indeed.
the college experience made me hate people more than before, so it's fine if you miss that
That's what I did, never felt like I missed out on anything. By the time I went to university, the only thing I felt I missed out on was dumb freshman shit, which is basically equal parts fun and cringe. I more than made up for the fun part in my remaining college years. And I sure as hell ended up with less debt than a lot of my peers. So it's really up to you in consideration of what you want to pursue educationally.
General advice here: Have some fun, do some dumb shit, take advantage of your youth and freedom, but keep your eye on the prize and get your degree. All those memories of parties past will stay with you but you'll just end up full of regret if that's all you got out of college.
I don’t know why this is on Cinemaphile but yes, it absolutely is. If I had to do it over again, I would have gone to community college and probably realized I don’t belong in college before going straight to a four year spending all test time and money to end up exactly where I’d be without a degree. This was a fairly long time ago when "go to college no matter what you can figure out what you want to do later" was a more common thought.
I should have just joined the military and been sent to die somewhere. Thanks to the magic of fat, drug-addled zoomers, this is still an option for older Americans!
By the way, there absolutely in a "college experience" but it’s one that is almost exclusively experienced by the most attractive and outgoing among us and at large state schools. Outside of that, it’s all bullshit.
You have to be super vigilant about which credits transfer, because as soon as this method became popular some years back a lot of big universities started kiking you out of CC credits to make you pay to retake courses for 10x the price on their campuses.
