Community college ostensibly for people who don’t have a good track record from High School, but is often advertised as the cheap, local option for people who don’t want to feel bad about having to go.

I did in fact try community college and it’s really just high school material with smaller text. I even took it in parallel with an edX equivalent and the material wasn’t even close to each other. The idea that CC is suppose to replace the first 2 years at a real college is terrifying and reinforces how much of the professional word is theater.

If you do any number of years at a community college, you should be able to apply as a freshman to a real college if you want.

    Last time I checked you do not have to transfer your credits. You go to community college for two years. Get the knowledge. Then choose a regular college apply and go there just don’t transfer your credits. Now you are going in as a freshman.

      Wtf wouldn’t you transfer credits if you could?

      That’s just a dumb waste of money and time.

        He wants to be a freshman again. It’s a way to make him be a freshman. Not saying it’s a good idea, not sure why you’d want to be a freshman again either though

      Every place I looked had a freshman requirement be less then two years at a CC and I haven’t found a way to purge bad classes. Every time I research this, people say it’s considered fraud to not fully list courses completed in applications.

        You retake them and get a good grade. That’s the way.

        I failed Calc 2, retook it and got a B. That’s quite literally the way to purge them.

          I need to speak to an actual college rep on that one. When I completed a shitty high school class, there was no option to redo it.

            Yup definitely talk to the college, but he is right that is how you purge a bad grade.
