That hasn't been my impression with colleges. Community colleges yes, but the credits almost never transfer, so that is two years of your life trying to get to somewhere else wasted.

I'm surprised about this too. Back in high school, they advocated for us to get into a 4 year, but they also proudly proclaimed how much money you can save by going to a 2 year through the "NJ Stars" program or the Cumberland County "School Counts" (either of which make it pretty much free) and then transfer to a 4 year. But they also showed us this website: [url="http://www.njtransfer.org/"]http://www.njtransfer.org/[/url] which has the listings for what courses will transfer between schools. I'm surprised that type of info is not readily available to your friends in Kansas.

This is how I went to school, FP. Community was 100% covered and about half was covered when I transferred to our alma mater in my junior year. Virtually seamless and graduated debt free (thank God). I only had to repeat one class, and I knew going in that would happen.

The people who had problems didn't check with the university's requirements. It's why regular, solid advisement is important, especially in the early years.
