Ya a lot of my college friends transferred in after a couple of semesters in community college, and almost all of them are more financially sound 10 years later than my college friends that came as a freshmen(minus those that got scholarships)
Bro if your parents do that they don’t love you imo, they just see you as an annoying expense, for example in Latin American, Middle Eastern, Mediterranean and African culture, the sons and daughters of a family usually live with their parents until they get married or they stabilize, but never hear me out never they are told gtfo or start paying rent, they tell their sons and daughters to help with expenses but never charge rent, and you know what? They help willingly! No need to be so aggressive charging rent!
I did community college and a traditional 4-year university and I honestly much preferred my years at community college. Maybe because I’m not a very social person, but I didn’t miss the “college experience” at all. I also found the academic quality of classes was pretty much the same, but community college professors were better at understanding that students have a life outside of school and gave more in-class assignments instead of outside homework
As someone currently in community college, I do not regret my decision one bit, not only was it so much easier to get into, but it’s also been WAY cheaper. It’s also SO MUCH MORE CHILL as there isn’t thousands of dollars of debt hanging above your head and it’s an overall more relaxed vibe across the whole campus
This, I went to CC for 2 years to get my generals done before going to Uni. While all my friends had massive student loans, I had none. Set me up well for the rest of life.
@@stevecooper7883sure, but I’ve seen the career trajectory of PSLF recipients and it’s not great. A bunch of overly educated women making less than a laborer, choosing indentured servitude to the government because the flip side is never actually paying that loan off
@@stevecooper7883 yup. But it’s also how the government gets their recruiting pipeline. First propagandize them into believing that they’ll be special if they do 7 years of post-HS education paid out of pocket. Then when they see they aren’t, dangle an out for them if they are a good little wage slave for a decade. Where the reward for all of their hard work will be more wage slavery.
@@stevecooper7883 in all fairness, women make up the majority of college enrollments and graduates, I don't agree with it being skewed to that degree, but it's not gonna be equal until those other numbers are too
I went to a community college for two semesters before transferring to a university. The quality of my classes were better at a community college. Smaller classes and all my professors had phd’s and loved teaching. Believe it or not my classes were actually more challenging at the community college. The different clubs would organize trips to different places and formed a lot of deep friendships at that time because the school was smaller. When I got to the university I felt ripped off in some ways because classes were more expensive and often were being taught by TAs instead phd professors with the exception of a few class at the upper level. Yes we had a football team but because I went to a SEC school we couldn’t just go to a game for free because we were a student. You had to get a ticket somehow. There were more events and it was fun but community community is not exactly inferior both have pros and cons
I’m gonna go to community for the free two years to get my core classes out of the way then I’m gonna go to the college I want to go to to save some money
I am a current community college student and all I have to say is: real. But it is a great starting point if finances are a problem or your high school academic performance wasn’t great like me.
a lot of people shit on community college for whatever reason, but imo it really is the smarter option. it’s cheaper, & you can save a lot of money if you don’t even know what you wanna do yet.
I’m doing a transfer track in community college, i’ll save money doing my core biology classes at my local community college then transfer to a bigger college and finish up with a degree in wildlife conservation
Community College is not what it used to be. There’s so many more opportunities now at least in my college. I was able to study abroad in France for a fraction of the price compared to university and I was able to travel to different states to conferences and I got so much scholarship money that I had left over money.
I knew people that worked as operators at the plant I worked at that made over 150k a year but guess what? They worked 80+ hours a week. This guy most likely works like outages or some other job where he has to be on the road all the time and will hardly be home.
Community college is an excellent option to save money and knock out core requirements towards your major before going to a better school for the latter half of your education and it can also open the door for many well paying careers.
I left highschool at 16 so going away wasn't really an option, i'm graduating from community college this spring and am not 20k in debt like my friends lol
I went to a small college and lived with my parents and by the time I graduated I saved over 100K and no debt! I did go to college parties on the weekend though ;)
I got my associates degree at a community college and then went to a college and lived on campus 2 years to get my bachelor's. While it is freaking nice to have degrees and be debt free, campus life is definitely better and I'd never trade it. It was a good balance
You forgot to mention that you're not paying $1000 + a credit hour in CC (make that $2000 + in private colleges). Humm, that means 15 hours is $15 - $30k. Times eight semesters, if you're lucky. Enjoy your student debt, and your parents' basement!
depending on the state a community college can be similar to 4 year colleges. In California the community college system was set up as a system designed to prepare for the 4 year universities. I went to community college, then to a 4 year private university.
Accurate but I couldn’t recommend it enough. I got my entire Associates degree for about $1000, and now I’m attending university. You get the best of both worlds
Community college is a smart option. People should not have to pay the amount of money they do to attend a university just for the social aspect. If you want to socialize, just go out in the community. Create your own college experience. Many universities just try to suck as much money out of students just because they can, when they could afford to make tuition much cheaper if they wanted to. It's sickening. Now a smaller state school will often actually charge reasonable tuition. But they may not have any of this football team or fraternity nonsense. For example, I went to a small state school across the country that had the exact program/major I wanted. I graduated with about $45k in debt and paid this off in two years.
My parents were super chill about it and only charged me 100 bucks rent and I also paid for car and car insurance but it was all pretty chill. I was also able to stay out late because I worked the night shift till 2 AM to make extra money. I didn’t want to do any extra bullshit anyway because my main focus when I was that was making money
Literally hate this!!! Yes, this is often the attitude that persists about community college, but it needs to change. We got kids that are tens of thousands of dollars to hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt because they waste so much time in school. Community college is one avenue to use to avoid that, but people mock it. Sad!!
College is a lot different in Canada wow, first of all college and university are two different things, and every college worth its salt here would be considered a state school in the U.S. I think? The colleges are pretty modest though, it’s the universities that are all fancy shmancy. And I think the closest thing we have to community college are adult high schools?? Honestly idk but American college culture is super foreign to me.
One of many reasons why frats are so stupid. Why should the fact your relative went to a frat have any determination about whether you get accepted? But I could make the same point about workplaces or college admissions.
There is nothing wrong with community college. Teaching is emphasized and the cost is much lower. Combined with the upper division and a Bachelors degree you get the same results. I have an AA and also taught at a community college. I wouldn't have my Bachelors and Masters degrees without going to a community college.
Not everyone grew up with the suburban white privilege that you had. They couldn’t just choose to go to a 4 year college right out of highschool because their parents paid for everything.
I didn't chose community college, it chose me! I mean, technically I graduated high school bottom of my class with a sub-2.0 GPA on the minimum graduation plan after failing several required classes, but really who's keeping track? Edit: Spelling. Also, I'm doing tons better now, about to transfer to a 4-year after several failed college attempts
Great job on only highlighting the worst aspects of community college 🙄 Completely unrealistic. Some bigger CC’s actually have a lot of student engagement opportunities. Definitely not a “death sentence”😂
I feel like this vid is shaming those who go to community colleges. That's messed up because it's elitist and classist. Are you going to make fun of trade students next?!
@@glitchyfuzzy And neither is it that funny. He's shaming people for the kind of education they can afford. It's the same thing as making a 'ghetto' joke.
The whole skit paints community college students as losers. Living with their parents, having a career in fast food, having a curfew, no sports team, no frat parties to go to, no direction in life, etc etc. He doesn't satirize university students like that. He just portrays them as naive and overwhelmed.
@7n154 he's not "shaming" shit. And it is funny. As an actually poor person that wasn't lazy, stfu. CC isn't "what you can afford," it's where poor kids go when we fuck up high school.
Community college is S-tier. Stay strong, kids.
Ya a lot of my college friends transferred in after a couple of semesters in community college, and almost all of them are more financially sound 10 years later than my college friends that came as a freshmen(minus those that got scholarships)
Nah getting a scholarship to Harvard is S tier
🔛🔝
@@Prettyinpink3.0 You mean a full scholarship?
Also, that's hell. Maintaining the academics to keep those things is hell.
@@rodneymills6477 my sister did it easily and I’m on the path too
Parents: “you’re in college now, the rent will be needed by the first of the month”.
Bro if your parents do that they don’t love you imo, they just see you as an annoying expense, for example in Latin American, Middle Eastern, Mediterranean and African culture, the sons and daughters of a family usually live with their parents until they get married or they stabilize, but never hear me out never they are told gtfo or start paying rent, they tell their sons and daughters to help with expenses but never charge rent, and you know what?

Not just that but you can still join the boys parties if they're not far. We had a couple CC boys tag along for parties

Best option. You'd be paying for that "college experience" for the rest of your life.
Not if you're a woman nowadays. 80% of public service loan forgiveness goes to them currently due to career choices.

Totaly random, but we have the same couch pillows. They caught my eye instantly.
Focus on the important part I like it
I liked this comment just because I can
I’m gonna go to community for the free two years to get my core classes out of the way then I’m gonna go to the college I want to go to to save some money
Same! My first 2 semesters got paid for by grants too so I'm saving a ton of my money lol
Instead of going to community college, I found a state school thats fairly cheap, and gave me a full tuition scholarship for academics
Yeah I'm just going to the state school closest to me because it's cheap and I don't have to live in dorms lol
I am a current community college student and all I have to say is: real. But it is a great starting point if finances are a problem or your high school academic performance wasn’t great like me.
I needed this as someone currently in community college 😭
Best part of CC: GET INTO THE SCHOOL YOU WANT (mostly) lmaooo
Ya ofc I would rather go to a 4 year but I don’t wanna be paying for it forever… so community college it is
a lot of people shit on community college for whatever reason, but imo it really is the smarter option. it’s cheaper, & you can save a lot of money if you don’t even know what you wanna do yet.
As a Community College Student this feels all too real 💀
I’m doing a transfer track in community college, i’ll save money doing my core biology classes at my local community college then transfer to a bigger college and finish up with a degree in wildlife conservation

went to community college for trades. almost no debt and making more then 90 percent of the big university grads.

College Greek Life is the most overrated thing in existence and I think it shows by how newer universities don't pick up on it very much or at all
Paying for friends
Community college creates S tier workers anyway
I left highschool at 16 so going away wasn't really an option, i'm graduating from community college this spring and am not 20k in debt like my friends lol
CC is also dope for introverts who just pop in out and of classes quick, hit the gym and I’m out
This good a good laugh out of me as someone who's loving community college
