Please be nice. I have lived a hard life and was not afforded the chance to go to high-school. Spent most of that time on the streets or in juvenile hall. Anyways, enough with the sad story. I have a question. I want to go to college but am not able to attend a University or State College. The Admission director said that I would need to go through a community college and from there, transfer. My question is, where can I go, community college, that will give me the best education that a community college can offer? I am not stupid person and know that life is hard without an education, been there, done that. So please share your thoughts on the best place to attend community college.
Example: A place that University Professor freelance for, or the likes. Again, PLEASE HELP.

I’ve pretty much been on my own since 14 years old. So moving is not a problem. I am very independent and am not afraid of hardship. Just need an education.

I am currently living in the state of California but will move if there is a good reason to.

The good news is: It doesn't really matter. Colleges consider them to be very - well - interchangable.
The bad news is that CCs typically attract neither the best faculty nor students. So it's important to get out of there fast while learning as much as possible - which will be mostly up to you..
So if you work hard in an environment that allows you to work hard - usually around where you live, you will be able to transfer to a decent college later.
Good luck

I too had to go to community college (bunker hill community college in boston) before I could go to a 4 year school. At first I really dissed it and thought that no school would want me. I'm a hair dresser and one of my clients is the head of transfer admissions at a very big name school, and I asked him his opinion. He told me not to discount the fact that I go to community college. First off most schools would rather take someone is trying to make something of themself. And two, a good amount of the teachers at the community colleges are actually professors or deans at the larger institutions... they love to teach and they miss the smaller classroom setting. So my suggestion to you is find a community college in your area, sit in the front row of class (yes it feels silly but it does make a huge difference), work hard, and get to know your teachers (a great way to do this is just asking them for help). From that you will get great recomendations. And know that there are a lot of different resources to help you suceed. And most of all, know that not everyone there wants to succeed, and some teachers arn't the best... so don't let them get you down... you are doing this for you, not for them. And just as an FYI, after a year of community college, I got a 4.0 and transfered into the #2 nursing program in the country.
