“Went to a CC for first 2 years, then transferred to Johns Hopkins.”
I hear ya. Good friend of mine went to CC, studied her butt off, got scholarship to Loyola (Bal). Honors student. Got great job. The rest is history. :-)
Awesome! That’s the other great thing about CC, you can actually get homework done and pump up the GPA! Imagine being a 17 1/2-18 year old teen suddenly 1,000 miles from home living on a campus with 20,000+students. I don’t know how they do it. Much better IMHO to grow up a bit, be 20 and then make the move.
