I so wrote a song about this.

[enamoured]

I hate that so many other people I know are going off to four-year schools and I'm going to community college, even though all these reports in papers seem to be telling me and anyone else who cares that going the two year, then transfer route is becoming more popular because college prices are just too damn much. I still feel like a bit of a loser anyway.

I feel like such a brat because of it. But it's like, geez, can't I get SOMETHING I wanted? Now I have to wait two more years and go through all of the applying junk again. Crikey. I'm already mentally making a list of the schools I want to apply to now.

Someone help me to not feel so despondent. Please?

I've gone to both...but took JC classes while at a University. Actually, from that experience, I wish I had gone to the JC first, then to the Uni. Not only does it save money, but...it's just easier in a lot of ways. There wasn't as much pressure, plus it gives you a little extra time to decide what you want to do & stuff. Or, if you know what you want to do, it gives you more time to pick the *right* university for you (unlike what I did, by just jumping in, thinking I was going to the right Uni, & here I am transferring because I was wrong & have basically paid more money to take classes I wouldn't even have to take over there, etcetc).
Plus the student to teacher ratio is MUCH better....& the professors I had were probably nicer than those I've had at uni.
God always has a plan. He has you there for a reason, so chin up & make the best of it. The more people I talk to, the more they recommend JC/CC/etc before heading to a University, most claiming it makes for a smoother entrance to the college world ;)
