So for those who have attended both which do you like better? I am currently attending a community school and I do enjoy it. It's cheaper and I don't have to worry about housing since I'm living at my parents since it's just like ten min's or so away from my school. The classes for the most part are small and I enjoy that and I can get to know my class mates and the professor. smile.gif I'm not sure yet if I have to go to university for graduate school or not so I'd love to hear everyone's experience with university mostly classes. smile.gif

You referring to community college, right?

Well, if you have plans for bigger shots and careers, you'll have to eventually transfer a larger university with more resources. But if you got plans that are suitable for one with a community college education, then by all means, I see no problem in that either.

I truthfully don't like university that much. Since I'm going to a public uni, the classes are too big, the students a lot of times don't care about the class because a lot of them are right out of high school and were forced to go, and that it's so impersonal. tongue2.gif

I enjoyed community college so much more. When I become a resident, it'll be the exact same price as going to community college in Seattle, though, lol. Class size was usually really good and most people were really passionate and there to learn. blush.gif If they had more bachelors offered (mine offered radiology tech or something close like that) I would've liked to stayed. biggrin.gif

I totally agree about the students with community college. Everyone I've come across does care a lot. Of course sometimes students miss but it's not because they're just skipping unless it's one of those times you don't have to be there for some reason. They also are very good about not wasting professor's times and whatnot. You can have a nice student/teacher relationship with your professors too and they're always available to talk and whatnot. I love the smaller classes too cause you can get to know everyone.
