I was accpted to Virginia Commonwealth University but some people tell me that community college is better because I can save money and then transfer out. WHat do you think?

I go to community college right now. One credit hour is $80. The university I will transfer to is $300 a credit hour. By following the transfer guide that the university has online from the community college I attend, I am able to take every class possible that will transfer for thousands less. It is totally worth it if the credits transfer. That's the biggest thing, check with both schools on what will and won't transfer, but it's a true money saver.

Since you was accepted to Virgina Commonwealth University, then you deserve a congratulations first! So Good For You! Next to your question. you know if you feel that you are not ready to leave home yet then a Community college is just as good. You still will receive your credits.As you would at the University. A Community College is only two years of course and sooner or later you would have to transfer to a four year college if you want to go that far. It's all up to you really. It will not make any difference since both schools are recognized with the Education Board. They are both real Colleges is what I am saying to you. So good luck to you any way that you choose to go! Thank you and God Bless you!

Thats what I did. I took as many classes at the community college then transfered to a university and got my degree there. I put the year I received my degree on my resume (not the years of attendance) so employers dont know how long I actually went there (if thats a concern for you that you didnt complete all 4 yrs at a university).

Community College is good for people who want to boost their grades a bit and explore different majors so that when they decide to transfer to a 4 yr college they are better prepared.

A community college is a college it just offers associates degree's rather than bachelor degrees. If you are looking to get a bachlors I would say go to community and transfer. you will usually save about $3,000.

It depends on how good your local CC is, and if your desired 4-yr will accept those credits (and how many). University of Pennsylvania does not accept CC credits, for instance, where as many CCs in New York state have agreements with many 4-yr schools for smooth transfers.
Ask VCU's admissions people if/how they accept CC credits, particularly the one(s) you may go to, before making any decisions.
