Regrets Options

[JerzDevil]

If you had to spit our your biggest regret you've ever made in your life, what would it be? Well here's my big regretful story. During freshman year in HS, I failed a lot, did a lot of slacking because I never took freshman year seriously. I was pissed until I found out colleges look at your freshman grades too. (I didn't know that before) ... but it was too late after I found out. By that time, freshman year was already over. I failed like 3 courses. Now last year f**ks up my chances of going into a decent 4-year college. I always thought before I started my freshman year that freshman year is just a motha f**kin warm-up and colleges don't care about that freshman year bullshit. That has to be my biggest regret. f**king up freshman year (kind of purposely)

Second would be: Spending all my paper in one day. SMH

You could always go to a community college, get rid of your basic freshman courses then transfer to a 4-year university. It's actually easier that way rather than trying to get straight into one right after high school.

Back on topic, I don't sit on top of my regrets. If I do something and it's wrong, I accept it and move on. Life's better like that and you get less white hairs, too.

naw community college? what the hell? my parents ain't gonna be dumb enough to pay my tuition/fee or whatever the hell it's called for a COMMUNITY COLLEGE ... they told me. they said going to a regular, decent 4-year college is a MUST for me .... or they're just gonna lose interest and send me to the navy or some shit. f**k, i wish i could bring back the beginning of september 2006 and start all over. luckily for my cousin tho he went to a community college somewhere located in the OC ... did well and he transferred to one of the CSU Colleges ... but for me, it ain't gonna happen.

Did you know that core classes pretty much teach you the same thing no matter where you go, including community colleges, and that they're about 1/5 the tuition of a 4 year? Also the classes in community colleges are smaller and you get more individual attention w/ profs. Also the classes/credits are transferable to any 4 year public college in the state (99% work out of state as well, just not all). Basically, the core classes are taught to conform to a certain teaching schedule and the same ideas/quizzes/tests are administered no matter where you go. The individual college becomes important once you reach your junior/senior year.

Amen to the bolded.

That's the best thing about community colleges, cheap tuition, same courses, then there's the ability to transfer to a bigger university, maybe even a private instituion, using the money you've saved in community colleges.
