The truth of it, in retrospect, that is what I am going to try and give here. It's great as community colleges go, the quality of the education, is near the level I got attending one of the top state school. Now I suppose going there, I wasn't all to happy, it really is the fact you are going to "community college" that is pretty depressing. Also it can be hard to transfer out, to a really good school, as community college courses and grades aren't given to high respect. My advice regarding that, take night classes, taught by adjuncts (some of whom are really brilliant) do well, put the work in, participate, ask him or her for advice, and a recommendation. Learn.

I do wish I took part in more extra extracurriculars, clubs and all of that. That would be the main thing I would do differently, there, I was there again.

That's the good, on to the bad. While there are some genuinely very bright people who go here, motivated young people. There are allot of those who don't care, people who just sit through class, sometimes talk on their phone, or even nap. Some professorers, don't have a handle on their subject, or the class they are teaching. It's a commuter campus, and I can say, I do very much wish I had my freshman experience, at a more conventional school.

Would I go there again, if I had to do it over, no, probably not. Should you, if you can go to a "real college" do that. Or even take a gap year to find yourself, and then apply to a four year school. Am I glad I had the chance to met some smart people, and take some great classes, yes. Heck sometimes I get nostalgic over it.
