Which California Community College has the best transfer rate to CAL POLY POMONA?

May I suggest that you phone the admissions office at CPP and find out if they will tell you this information. You probably want an official answer.

How do you tell if a college is community college?

We Answered:

I just looked at the Cypress College website, and right down at the bottom of the page, it says "Cypress College is part of the North Orange County Community College District." Fullerton is also part of the same system. http://www.cypresscollege.edu/

Here's a list of all the community colleges in California:

EDIT: Just to clear up some misinformation from other posters:

1. Community colleges are defined as public, non-profit colleges run by the state or region in which they are located.

2. Just because a college offers associate degrees, that doesn't mean it is a community college. Many private for-profit colleges also offer associate degrees.

Cal state fullerton? or stay longer at community college?

We Answered:

I just transferred from RCC to Cal State Fullerton, so my advice is to stay at RCC until you get 60 units, then transfer. RCC is so much cheaper...$20 a unit! Cal State Fullerton is a lot more expensive. I just spent a total of $2,000 including books. Plus, I think staying at RCC will get you prepared for Fullerton because it's very different. RCC is a good transition start. When I started at Fullerton, I immediately started in my major. I think it's better that way. Good luck!

If you have any questions...e-mail me!

community college transfer question?

We Answered:

There is nothing wrong with being in a community college. I started off at a community college, went there for a little under 3 years, transferred to a 4 year, and graduated 2 years later from a top public Engineering school in Aerospace Engineering. Community colleges allow you to exhaust the classes you would have had to take at a 4 year university while saving you money. That's a fact. So you'll end up taking less classes when you transfer to a 4 year. Community colleges also go slower than some 4 year universities, allowing you to really absorb and understand the material. Community colleges also generally have smaller class sizes which means that you'll get a lot of support from your instructors and they'll get to know you. Also due to its smaller size, you'll get a lot of support from administrators and guidance counselors.
Also, your chances of getting into a 4 year university is greater because you have shown yourself to be capable of handling college classes. Community college classes are not easier than 4 year university classes. In the 4 year university I went to, I actually learned a lot less because there was more material to cover in a smaller amount of time.
Finally, community colleges allow a student to figure out what they want to major in. It allows them to easily change majors if they find out their original major wasn't for them. Once you're in a 4 year university, it's difficult to change majors and the majority of the time they won't allow you to change.
If I were you, I would just handle being in a community college for at least 2 years. You're not wasting your education doing so. You're actually helping it.

Leaving community college and going to CSU Fullerton?

We Answered:

If you gave all of the information it is not a bad decision. Explain the reasons again to your parents and counter their objections if any./

It means that they have no grade, etc. requirements and almost anyone (usually 16+ with a GED/diploma) can enroll.
