A. if you have to attend community college in order to transfer to a university most places ask for 60 credits (semester) that is usually about 2 years so you will have to wait. Good Luck !

A. I do not know any statistics but I can tell you that visiting colleges, if possible, is realllyyy recommended!!! I would say that people who do not visit their intended colleges beforehand are the ones that end up transferring. It is important to visit to make sure that college is a good fit for you, has the resources you need to be successful and have the program that you want. You REALLY need to research your intended program area for that college to make sure it is what you want. I did not do that and I regret it. I chose my school because of nostalgia. My school is a big, well known, Big 10 school so I assumed that automatically meant that all their programs were amazing. I was wrong. Though my schools is very good school, the… [cont.]

Asked by KeepCool - Fri Mar 28 00:41:33 2008 - Teaching - 3 Answers - Comments

A. You'll have to pay the tuition each year, so probably that means at least 4 times. Don't forget that you will have to pay for room and board too if you live on campus, and that will likely be a few thousand dollars more each semester. You will want to fill out the FAFSA. You may get some grants from the government (money you don't have to pay back) or loans (which you'll pay back later). I think in most cases they will give you enough financial aid that you'll be ok while you are going to school. However, once you graduate, it can be very difficult to have a lot of loans that you need to pay back. Therefore, you want to have as few as possible. Here are two tips: first, you need to look into less expensive colleges. You are either looking… [cont.]

A. It doesn't matter what diploma. A diploma alone is not sufficient for anyone to be certain of getting a good paying job. As the previous person said, you have to have experience. You also have to prove your diploma is more than a piece of paper. You have to show you actually learned something and didn't only do just enough on tests to pass. You have to interview well. People who interview poorly rarely get hired. When they do get hired, they often get hired into poor jobs. You have to have some idea of what you want to do and why. The answer cannot be money. Technology employers don't want people who just want to make money. It sound like you have a plan that makes sense, though. Good luck.

A. No one cares about any diploma but your highest one. My high school one must be around somewhere because I never threw it out but I have not seen it for like 25 years. Just like you should not buy a high school class ring unless that is going to be your highest level of education. Also, it is considered really lame to wear any high school jackets, sweaters, hoodies, etc. when you get to college. Those things you put away to never wear again.

A. Like others have said, the UC system (UC Berkeley, UCLA, UCSD are way up there in rankings, as well as SB, I, R, etc.). However, it is easier to get into those schools if you are a CA resident/going to a CC in California. If you're not in CA, you can also try U of Arizona or U of Washington, both are pretty good schools. Also keep in mind that CA is going through a massive budget crisis, so prices may go up and benefits may go down for a UC education.

A. If you have less than 30 credits at your first college, they may request a high school transcript as well as your college transcripts. You just contact your college (and high school, if applicable) and ask them to send transcripts to your new school. If you are enrolled in the new college, you need to go on Fafsa, no matter what, and put in a new school code to let them know you want money for a different school. Sometimes colleges ask you to submit your tax returns or your parents tax returns, too, before you can start your first term. Seems to be a random thing.

A. A community college is affordable and only issues AA degrees. You pay by units for classes and not a set semester fee. That's why it's more affordable. As for a university, this is a four year establishment where one can obtain a bachelor's degree in any subject they carry. If you want to just get your general education, then you go to a community college and transfer over to a university to obtain a bachelor's degree. Many people opt for community college because they are working and can't go to school full time.

Most exchanges are by semester/term, but maybe you could negotiate to 2 years (though that would probably extend the length of time you would need to do your Bachelor's!).
