I actually like how "lonely" Community college is I see it as very chill

Girl I started at an CC and ended up graduating at an Uni and I loved starting at CC because it gave me a sense of idea what I was getting myself into instead of going straight to a university. It was smaller so the classes were smaller and gave the teachers a chance to know me. I didn’t care about being made fun of 🤷🏽‍♀️ I graduated in 2019 with my bachelors in Psychology.

I've been going to community college (online) for the past 2 years cuz I also graduated hs in 2020. one thing that I didn't anticipate was how lonely it is. It's just not something that I thought about beforehand. and I'm not a social butterfly either. I never reached out to other kids (even in hs) and I really regret that. with all my hs friends moving away to their universities it became very lonely as I was the only one left in our town. it felt very isolating cuz all I would do is wake up, log into class, eat, then go to sleep. for 2 years. having no social interaction really took a toll on me. so I definitely recommend reaching out and trying to make new friends. or even just acquaintances lol. and if you're anything like me, I know it can be scary to reach out, and it's so much easier to stay in your shell. but pleaseee try and reach out. even it's just one person that you become friends with! one person can truly make a difference. anyway, hope you have a nice day :)

I have a degree from a top college, but I learned more at community college first and I loved it more.

I have been teaching at community college for 25 years and all of this is great advice! Congratulations on transferring and enjoy CSU life 😊

[jackiecorley]

As someone with borderline social anxiety who enjoys spending time alone, i am a bit nervous about potentially attending community college for computer science 😭😭 i am an assistant taekwondo instructor and a competitive cheerleader so hopefully my final year in these sports will break me out of my shell-- wish me luck yall

Illinois has the Illinois Articulation Initiative, so that makes courses pretty easy to transfer. Everyone's situation is different of course, but CC does offer so many benefits! Some even offer dual credit while you're in high school and low or no-cost CLEPP testing which doesn't harm your GPA and counts for college credit! How cool is that? Great video, Congratulations on graduating soon!

I'm going into cc because I feel as though I've forgotten much since 17'. Also, my HS grades were terrible, but that was mostly due to non-academic/life reasons.

[sydneyoodle]

Love this! I’m at CC right now and plan to transfer. Can’t wait for the college experience tbh

[SoftieShima]

ahh thank you for making this video, I’m a jr in Highschool and I was so worried about whether or not I would go to college once I graduate bc I didn’t know what my interest are or what I want to major in, but now I realize that community college would be great for exactly that. feel a little less stressed about it now!!

I’m going to a community college for two years then transferring. The thing I love most about this college is that it actually has dorms so I don’t have to stay at home. It is also near Syracuse University so I hope I can still make friends and have that college life experience. 😂😅

I have been studying at a 2-year college for 7 years. I have started at a 2-year college at age 18 a semester after I graduated from high school. For right now, I am graduating with my AA degree in Liberal Arts at age 25. I just turned 25 on last Monday the 30th of January. During my first time attended to a 2-year college, I have studied management as my technical diploma. When I transferred to another 2-year college from state to state, I have switched my management as my technical diploma to liberal arts as my AA degree. I have been working on my AA degree for 6 years. I was always a part time student. At a young age, I had to travel all over around the states due to my dad’s job in the military services. He is technically my stepdad, but I always call him dad because I grew up with him. I am working on my second book which is called My Life Throughout with Autism and Being a Military Child. I will get my first book published as soon as my graduation ceremony is over. I will have it announce on YouTube of when my first book gets published. If you want to know which states I lived in before, my first book will be ready for you to publish. I was diagnosed with autism at age 3. I went to a life skills program to learn how to communicate. I have been taking life skills during my school years from preschool to 8th grade. In high school, I started to be in the mainstream classes, but with one on one assistant assisted me in my assignments. It was for 10th, 11th, and 12th grade. In 9th grade, I was in mainstream in the classes, but I got helped with my assignments as well! I graduated from high school in the spring of 2016. I was born in the city of Buffalo in New York. I lived there in my early childhood until age 5. I was in kindergarten when I left Buffalo. I speak Spanish and English. Even though I learned Spanish and English at the same time as a child, English has always been my first language. I started to speak more Spanish when I first moved to Puerto Rico at age 16. During the summer before going to 11th grade, I have practiced with basic sentences in Spanish. I have started to speak some Spanish to my friends who does not spoke that much English. I understood most of the Spanish but I spoke a little bit of Spanish. When I was at age 17 or 18, I have started to practice more on Spanish with sentences. So, I could’ve speak more Spanish to my family members who are from Colombia and Puerto Rico. I started to speak Spanish fluently at age 18 going to college. I started to read in Spanish by the myself when I first moved to Puerto Rico at age 16. I have started to watch series and movies in Spanish to help me speaking Spanish fluently. I have watched Spanish TV program to help me communicate in Spanish with my family members. I have watched Univision to help me to speak Spanish as well. It is a Spanish program that people can learn a language of speaking Spanish. I do know that taking Spanish courses in high school is not the same as learning a language as long as it is something for heritage speakers. I am taking Spanish for Heritage Speakers as a college level course. My dream career is to be an actor and journalist. After I complete with my AA degree, I will train for acting in the studio. Then, I will work on my BA degree in Broadcast Journalism. I will probably be getting my BA degree when I am at age 29 because I will be taking earning my BA degree for 3 to 4 years. It all depends on how many credits hours I have. Also, I will be doing internship for journalism while I am at a 4-year college as well. Also, congratulations on earning your AA degree. I really enjoyed watching your video because your video is great! Your video is very helpful. It has inspired me to this video. Good luck with earning your BA degree wherever you go. My name is Andres by the way! It is pleasure to meet you. God bless you and your family. 🙏❤️

I just collected 60 transferable and went to Law School. There is no point to a 4 year college in California anymore unless you like debt.
