Subject: I'm going to Community College

"There's a very fine line between not listening, and not caring. I'd like to think that I walk that line every day."

As a brit, I'm confused as to wtf community college is, is it like college or uni???
In the U.S, "college" and "university" are basically interchangeable.

Community colleges are more accessible to people and have smaller requirements, if any, to enroll.

Hey guys what can I expect in a Community College?

Thanks in advance!

You can expect some fancy booklearnin crap that will do you no good.

Will it help you dig a ditch? NO.

Don't do it, learn some useful stuff instead.

Inappropriate. Went a little to far with the butt hole tearing.

How does one identify a community college? Is it blatant , or is it just a cheat, easy-to-get-into-type college?

Easy classes, low standards and lots of high school kids.
That isn't the case at the one I'm at. Granted I'm in the engineering program that they have with RPI and UBuffalo, but half of them have phds, and the classes are harder than the ones at UBuffalo

Usually has community/county/junior in the name. (e.g. Dallas County Community College)

"College" and "Universities" are definitely NOT the same thing. Colleges do not offer masters or doctorate degrees, while Universities do.

It is like high school, but with old people.

Also, you should watch the show Community.

I have returned from the Untamed Lands. MOAP is dead.

Expect to save money while your peers who attend a uni piss away theirs because they entered undeclared and will be on their third major by the end of sophomore year.

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

I would think it is similar to a normal college, but thousands of dollars cheaper.
Good luck there.

If you're going to do community college for whatever reason, make sure that the classes you are taking are interchangeable at the college you plan on transferring to. You can save money - but you can also blow money taking a class that the college you go to won't accept.

Personally I didn't go to community college, but I went to a relatively cheap four year private college on partial golf/academic scholarships - I paid (or rather my parents paid) $10,000 a year there. As it was private, they pretty much did not take any transfer credits anyway.

Butt ugly ape” remarked Sergeant Johnson always making fun out of the situation even though he had been hit by a spiker round in the arm. He mustered up the strength to continue and the team moved on. The Arbiter informed him that the next room held The Prophet of Truth and this was the final room before extraction. Jun proposed that he takes a shot from a distance the prophet and they all head back to the ship bay for extraction. The team agreed on this and breached the last door…

Lameness. Especially 40 year olds trying to go back to school.

For the first 2 years you're going to take the exact same classes in a community college or a university, only difference is that you're going to be paying 4x the amount going to a university.

If you're smart (and don't have scholarships) you'll go to a community to get your basics done than go to a bigger school for others.

Watch the first three seasons of Community. It'll be just like that.

RIP Logan ~B.B.

Depends on what you are there for. The community college in my town is partnered with University of Minnesota - Duluth and the University of North Dakota for mechanical engineering transfer program. The department I work for has hired dozens of sophomores out of that program for internships and summer help At the community college, they have the same courses as university student have. Statistics, Calc I - III, a whole bunch of Physics classes, and all the generals any other student would take. How difficult they are usually depends on the teacher. They can be just as severe and difficult university course, and they can be sometimes more lax and informal as well.

Community colleges usually offer a range of two year degree programs, typically suited to needs in the area. Schools in Northern MN focus pretty heavily on millwright, electrician, mining, nursing, and HVAC degrees and certifications. Those tend to be in-demand fields where a 2 year degree is thought quite highly of by employers (we hire many of them in our plant). They also offer other generic associates degrees. Those are the the ones to be a bit weary of, as some of them aren't terribly useful and will not transfer.

Anyway CCs are great for transfer programs (you can get your generals out of the way at a fraction of the cost) or technical degrees tailored to local industry. Just like at any university, experience can vary greatly from class to class, professor to professor, and program to program.

While entirely correct, when someone asks "did you go to college?", it doesn't mean "did you go to *A* college?"
