If so was that a better choice for you? I personally wish I had of did that because it would been alot cheaper and faster. I was going to intially do that but when I asked the university that I wanted to earn my B.A. they said that they didnt accept credits from the 2 yr college I wanted to go 2. So I ended up going str8 to the university which I regret because it was soooooooo expensive and my financial aid didn't cover half of the tuition so ended getting loans which I regret.

I am finishing up my two year college currently. All I have next semester is an internship then I am going straight to a 4 year university. The reason I am doing it is because the university has a transfer program so not only do I save A LOT of money the first 2 years, my next two years I get 100 dollars off of each credit hour and I also get a scholarship for being a transfer student.

I chose a 2 yr college because it was private and offered a lot of scholarship money. I hardly had to pay any money out of pocket. I am also from a very small rural town so I knew that I would be lost at a bigger college. My two year college was small and fun and I made a lot of friends there. I only had a couple of classes that didn't transfer over to my 4 year university for my BA. The transition was very smooth and one of my roommates from the 2 year college ended up being a roommate at the 4 year.

I recommend that everyone who goes to college start at a 2 year school then transfer to a 4 year school after 2 years. It's cheaper but also, if you decide after 2 years that you don't want to go anymore you will have your associate's degree and not have to torture yourself with 2 more years of college just for a degree. But then after you get your associates you can go on to a 4 year school and be able to jump right into your major courses and not waste time and money taking basic preparatory classes at a university.

In my state the universities are required to accept the credits from the community colleges. It really helps the students and the parents.

Although I didn't I have many friends who did exactly that and it was wonderful for them. Their student loans were FAR CHEAPER. They got a better core education at the 2 year school and went farther with their 4 year degree.
