Which one did you ultimately like better?

I'm not sure if it was just my opinion or my viewpoint, but I definitely liked the feel of my CC better than my university. I felt that I did much better, and that the aura of academics made me want to succeed more than in the university. Universities (at least, the ones that are around me. I'm in Southern California so we don't really have smaller universities here) tend to be more of a fend-for-yourself education, which is great for lots of people, and something that you should really learn to handle to accomplish anything in the "real world" anyway. But that's one of the reasons why I found my CC to be more...enjoyable. It was a lot like high school, and I liked high school, I liked that atmosphere. Ah, that's interesting.  I feel like my CC class is too... easy, in a sense.  It's nice that the teacher has more time to dedicate to students because of smaller class sizes, but I feel like I learn more (and in better detail) in my university classes.

I used it in terms of being both.  The community colleges that I know in this area are all two-year colleges.  But many people here use them to transfer in to a four year school. dumb whore Posted at 1:59 pm on July 5, 2009 does junior college = 2 year college = community college?
