How difficult is it to transition from community college to a four year university?

I am currently enrolled in community college. After I complete my Associates in Art there then I want to continue on to an undecided four year university. Will it be easy to transition since I will have an associates degree? Just how different are universities from community colleges, besides the size? Any information will be beneficial. Thank you! #college-transfer #community-college #college-prep

If you are committed to doing well, see no reason why you should have any problems transferring into a 4 year college. Make sure that the courses you take at CC are transferrable to the college that you are interested in, and consider taking summer/winter courses as well so by the time you transfer, you'll have taken most of the required courses for the 4 year college during your first 2 CC years (at probably a much lower cost!). Although you will take a little time adjusting since you are entering as a Junior - you'll be more focused and also appreciate the differences between a CC and a 4 year. Personally I transferred from a CC to a 4 year, and the transition wasn't bad at all. I actually found the 4 year courses easier, however did like dorming and living on a campus at a 4 year. Best of luck to you!

I did not find the transition from a community college to a university difficult. The coursework is a bit more advanced but it greatly depends on the course. The further you advance in your studies, the more that the college or university will demand. Be happy for these small steps, this is how learning occurs.
If you are changing from a community college to a university on campus, expect the campus to be a bit larger and it may feel a bit more daunting, but consider your time on a community college campus as prep school. I don’t believe you will find a great deal of difference.

Diane recommends the following next steps:

Pat yourself on the back for taking the step to complete a bachelors. This is a lot of work but I believe you will be happy you did.

I think you need to decide on a major before you leave to university. You should decide on a career and upon it apply to the university that supports the path towards that career. At the moment, you are wasting time and money.
