We visited a friend in college once.........while we were in her dorm (which was on the 3rd floor) we opened the window, and hurled chocolate chip cookies out at the people below!
Man.....that was FUN!

Well, I don't want to hi-jack Element's thread, but I really feel like all of this applies to me aswell. I totally hate to do homework and stuff. I guess there's no way you can just cruise through college, especially if you have some high aspirations. I guess I just have to buckle up and keep the main objective in sight. Doing a thing I like.

1. Get help if you're struggling with any courses
2. Some classes, it's cheaper and easier to take them in a community college during the summer, such as Accounting and Chemistry 101. Make sure credits will transfer.

I would be wary of the quality of teaching you receive from a community college relative to university. I don't want to devalue the education you receive from community colleges but do investigate the difficulty in the summer school curriculum and then you can make an informed decision.

I did take 1 summer school unit (Company Law in 7 weeks is not as fun as it sounded when I applied, being the only time I could fit it in), but with the same institution that I am an undergraduate at.

I have implied that my college education was a long time ago. That part is true, in the purest sense, but I have taken many courses at many different schools in this country...and if I were to generalize, I would err on the side of the community colleges actually being superior to the more traditional 4 year schools when dealing with core curriculum as a freshman or sophomore. The differences include such things as actual teachers contrasted with some grad student, class size and personal attention, and most importantly, imo, your fellow students are far more likely to have a bit of life experience in a community college than a traditional 4 yr. university. Night classes are infinitely superior to day classes, and this is where the confusion often arises.

Well, I'd actually defend community colleges. I went to 2 and got good education from both.

What David said about getting good education because of class sizes is right on. I actually got to meet just about every Professor at my CCs. Office hours aren't completely booked like 4-year schools, plus the Professors can actually see your eyeballs and you can ask questions.

I'm not a fan of 80+ people rooms. You don't learn as much, and they're too impersonal.

CCs are very cheap too. I used to rent a room (my parents were in another state) and the tuition at the time was a joke (it's gone up significantly since then, but is still cheaper than a 4-year school).

The thing is, you may want to consider doing your GE at a CC. You may switch your major once or twice. I did. I'm glad I went to a CC first because I thought I'd want to be Psychology until I realized that pretty much everyone in that department was whacked so I changed it. Twice.

Do that at a 4-year school and you'll be wasting money.

I would like to reiterate that I meant no offense to community colleges and their alumni. I brought up the topic in the interest of making a fully informed choice as to where to go, as I made that mistake. I regret that I did not consider other institutions for consideration and automatically picked the best in the State. Big fish in a small pond.
