It depends on the university. Most top universities will not transfer your credits. They usually wil not stamp a degree as their own if they were not responsible for the entire education. At best, they give credits to casses taken at other universities or colleges if they are in a consortium with them. They might also waive some subjects (but not the credits), meaning you might not have to repeat History 101, but you still have no waiver on those credits. Then, again, many more less competitive universities will honor your community college credits, and you might only be asked to spend two or three years at their university. If there is any that you think you might be interested in, contact their admissions office now, and look into it.

Only if the community college you go to has an articulation agreement with the university to do a 2+2 transfer plan, then it will probably take you two years to finish up but it all depends on you. If you do not get a 2+2 agreement with the university you go to then you may end up losing credits if your college credits don't transfer that university... so the longer you may have to go to school. So yeah it depends on how you want to finish up and how you are dedicated to get through school.

Pick the university where you plan to transfer. Make certain the two year college is accredited and have the university advise you on the courses they will accept from the first college. The final choice of which courses will transfer is up to the university. And remember, it often takes longer than four years to finish a Bachelor's degree.

You can get an associate degree in two years, and if you have all the required courses you can get a batchelors in two years. I do not know why they are telling you most people take longer. I got a BS in a little over three years.

Most people take longer than 4 years to complete a bachelors degree. But seeing that your name looks ethnic, I'd say you'll finish a bachelors in 2.
