***years community college= $6,500
2 years state university = $16,000***
But what if you transfer to a 4 year university after two years of community college?
After two years of community college, using the same teachers and textbooks as the state university uses, students often find that their community college courses do not count toward graduation by the state U and they have to take them over again.
My daughter fell into that trap.
Wow, that sucks. Not sure what CC system that is.
My brother’s AA degree got him into Johns Hopkins as a Jr. His diploma from Hopkins is the exact same as the one people who paid for 4 years there get.
