ITT: Why community college rocks.

1) Costs like 25% of a full university or less.
2) No frats/sororities, probably no dorms, so there's no parties to feel depressed about not being invited to.
3) Less crowded.
4) Teachers are burnouts or failures and generally don't give a fuck, so classes are laid back and grading is easy. Things like studying and pretending you give a fuck about what's being taught aren't that important.
5) Students tend to be underachievers, so there aren't any insufferable smartass kissups sitting in the front row asking questions all period.

Not OP, but out of curiosity, if I get an associates degree from a community college at the same time as my high school diploma, will it increase my chances of getting into top state schools?

[Anonymous No.1504864]

ITT: Why community college sucks.

1) Paying tons of money for a degree that won't help me get a job, especially coming from such a shit college.
2) No parties, so you're stuck being an antisocial loser for the rest of your life
3) Not enough people
4) Teachers are failures and don't give a fuck. So you don't learn anything and are fucking stupid compared to everyone else.
5) Student tend to be underachievers, so everyone around you is a failure, but still a narcissistic douchebag that thinks they're better than you and so everyone hates everyone around them. Also, there's no one around that's actually motivated enough to something important in their life.
6) I have to rationalize how much of a failure I am, how I will never do anything significant and every day fight off the urge to shoot myself.

Have fun in community college

[Skunkworks !e1337Hykks No.1504872]

All that is well and good.

But I was offered a full scholarship to my local CC in addition to an all expense paid trip to Europe during the summer to study abroad.

Turned it down because they had the most fucktarded engineering department ever (and this is supposedly one of the best engineering departments at a CC), and they hadn't sent anyone on to a top 5 school in my major in like ten years.

Said fuck this, I'd sooner pay tuition (albeit also with a scholarship, folks pick up the rest) at a top-5 in electrical engineering so I get the chance to interact with real profs and make grad school admissions less of an uphill fight (versus the unranked school the CC fed into)

God you fucking undergraduates are all the fucking worst.

It does not matter (much) what fucking school you go to. I did horrible in highschool. I spent 2 years doing pretty shitty at a community college taking shitting japanese classes and goofing off. I then spent the next 3 years at a shitty bottom teir state uni absolutely ACING everything (Math + CS). Now I'm a graduate at a top 10 school and have received two job offers paying 80k/ yr.

Oh, and btw, my whole education up to this point has cost about as much as a lightly used sedan.

go fuck yourselves

[Anonymous No.1505315]

The worst thing about CC is the other students are the kinds of people who couldn't get in to regular college. The textbooks are the same, the teachers are the same quality.

[Anonymous No.1505319]

yeah, its fine if you don't know anything else

but if you've ever been in a top tier school, where the professors are brilliant both in instruction and practice, and the student body is also very bright and motivated and inventive, then being in CC will be like living in a public toilet after you've been raised in a 5 star hotel

[Anonymous No.1505321]

>>1505315

it depends on the CC

The one in my town (DeAnza College in cupertino) consists of 50% overacheaving asians that got off the boat a little to late to go to highschool (and therefore apply to a real university) and are therefore in the college to take advantage of their transfer program. 25% people who don't have the funds to pay for a full university and are doing their gen-ed at home, 20% underacheivers, and 5% highschool students (either getting ahead or finishing their last year in the college)

This is the same shit at the next level. My brother wen to a CC, transferred to a state uni, went to dental school. He'll make just as much as the dumbass that wanted to be an undergrad at Harvard (lol, parents $$$ amirite?) before going to dental school.

You don't get it. Cupertino is 50% asian like in the POPULATION. and a good majority of those are FOB immigrants.

basic undergrad physics at a CC is the same as basic undergrad physics at princeton or caltech or mit or whatever

hell, you can go to mit's website right now and look at their syllabi, past exams, course notes, readings, and lectures and then compare that to whatever CC you go to right now. My differential equations class was pretty much the same as Arthur Mattuck's at MIT in content, rigor, and difficulty.

[Anonymous No.1505832]

In my state you can go to community college instead of your last two years of high school and the state will pay for everything but the books.

I went and did calc I-III, diff eqs, linear algebra, multivariable calc, G chem I-III, O chem I-III, Physics I-III and a couple english/elective classes while maintaining a 3.98 GPA because classes were extremely easy.

Everything transferred to the university I went to and I graduated 3rd in class because instead of getting mediocre grades in all of the weeder courses I took them at CC.


Also unrelated but my dad just has a 2 year CC degree, but he passed the FE and PE exams in electrical engineering 5 or 10 years after he graduated and is now a senior engineer at boeing, running his own lab with top secret clearance etc. Lots of people focus so much on getting the right degrees from the right colleges but what matters most of all is how good you are at what you do.
