Which is better: going to a community college and then transferring, or going straight to a four year college?

Some people tell me to save money by going to a community college first, and that is what all of my siblings have done, but others say that going to a four year college makes things simpler. I am not sure what they mean, but which do you think is better and why? #colleges #tuitioncosts

Derisa’s Answer

The first 2 years of college are pre-requisite classes and all colleges require them. You will need to do your research on what credits a four year school will and will not accept. Attending a community college will save you thousands of dollars in tuition fees. A community college credit hour could be as less as $100 where as a credit at a college or university could be as much as $300. Most community colleges have dorms so you can still experience college life.

Mitchell’s Answer

In my experience, the first year of courses at most colleges are generally pre-requisite classes (whether it be a community college or four year college), so if you are unsure of what you are interested in or concerned about finances, it does not hurt to attend a community college for your first year and then transfer to a four year college. However, you should consider the courses you will be taking and what schools accept credits from others.
