P.S. --- I want to be a teacher... ;)
(grade 8 i guess...)

I'm thinking about going to a community college and then transfering into a university???

Answer 1

It is fine to go to a community college and then transfer to a university. While you won't have as much choice, and you will miss the full experience of a university, many people do this and it won't harm your career. I'm on the West Coast, so I can't tell you much about the quality of East Coast community colleges, though.

Answer 2

A lot of folks do one or two years at the community college level and then transfer. It's a good (sometimes less expensive) way to get some of the basic credits out of the way. It's helpful if you know what four year school you want to transfer to. I'd talk to their admission counselors about transferring and what credits will/won't transfer so you don't take stuff that you'll just have to retake at the university. I know that there are a lot of good community colleges in that area, I just don't know of any. Do a search online for community colleges New York-New Jersey and see what pops up.

Answer 3

I'd really agree on going to a University.
