DH was educated in France and the system is different. He went for 6 years and had the equivalent of 2 BS's and one masters. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-went-to-college/page/2#post-987868 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 01:40:00 +0000 LaineysMom 987868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We both went straight to universities.</p> <p>@autumnlove: you can sign a contract with a UC that if you attain a certain GPA that they will accept you. This is very appealing since a lot of students do not get into their UC of choice upon HS graduation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-went-to-college/page/2#post-987825 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 00:34:32 +0000 rrachael 987825@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went to a four year state school. @chopsuey119: I think it is a more popular/accepted option in CA than in other places! Dh is from massachusetts but came to C A for college. He was shocked at how many people transfered to our school from a community college. He always said it was nearly unheard of where he was from. Its too bad, because it really is a huge $$ savings and when its all said and done - your diploma looks the same! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-went-to-college/page/2#post-987815 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 00:16:43 +0000 birdofafeather 987815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: I think you're right! I have to a of friends that did a JC first then transferred. Pretty smart actually!</p> <p>I went straight to a 4year. DH went to a community college then transferred.</p> <p>ETA: I actually went to a JC after I got my bachelors to do a certificate in photography! Kinda backwards but it worked. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-went-to-college/page/2#post-987733 Sat, 03 Aug 2013 22:17:32 +0000 HLK208 987733@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went to community college while in high school so I had my associates degree by the time I finished my senior year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-went-to-college/page/2#post-987729 Sat, 03 Aug 2013 22:15:24 +0000 cascademom 987729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both of us went to 4 year colleges. I finished, he didn't. I did my math and science classes at a community colleges during freshman and sophomore years. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-went-to-college#post-987714 Sat, 03 Aug 2013 22:06:01 +0000 artsyfartsy 987714@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Started at a CC with the intention to finish my two years at a university. For quite a few reasons I didn't finish my second year at CC. I always felt like if I had the opportunity to go to a 4 year I would have finished college. The CC I went to was a joke. The teachers were awful, the staff was awful, and I just felt like I was wasting my time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-went-to-college#post-987698 Sat, 03 Aug 2013 21:54:32 +0000 AmandaB8 987698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Straight to a 4 year. I had several friends who went to a CC college, and most of their credits never transferred. Ending up wasting money AND they had to retake the classes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-went-to-college#post-987686 Sat, 03 Aug 2013 21:46:23 +0000 AmeliaBedelia 987686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went straight to a 4-year school though technically I did some dual-enrollment at the local junior college while I was still in high school. It took away a year, so I was only "in college" for 3 years. I also had a ton of scholarships. I'm sure you can tell my nerd factor was high by the dual-enrollment part.</p> <p>DH has an AA; he went to a technical college. His education was much cheaper than mine, but his field was more lucrative and we make about the same amount of money until I finish my Masters next year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-went-to-college#post-987678 Sat, 03 Aug 2013 21:39:21 +0000 MrsBrewer 987678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Opposite! Kind if. I started at a 4 year, I stayed there for 2.5 years, decided I didn't want to pursue that major. S I just went to a 2 year college, and got my associates degree there in something completely different!</p> <p>I am now starting to think about going back to a 4 year and getting my bachelors degree in my current field which is what I have my associates degree in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-went-to-college#post-987677 Sat, 03 Aug 2013 21:38:45 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 987677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Freshman year: 4 year school in GA<br /> Sophomore year: community college in TX.
