<prompt> Human: Im a junior in high school in ohio, and I plan to attend college afterwards. Im not going to be getting a full ride or anything, so financially it only makes sense to do the first 2 years at a community college, in my case Sinclair, which is fairly large in my area. Im currently already earning credits at Sinclair through my high school programs that are transferable to OSUmy current plan for my last 2 years and as far as I know most other of my in state colleges. Also upon graduation Ill have a 3000 scholarship to Sinclair. So obviously this makes financial sense, but are there any downsides I should be aware of with taking my first 2 years at a community college?EDIT: I just wanted to thank everybody for the advice and whatnot! Im definitely going to be double checking any class I plan to take with both the CC and whatever 4-year I plan to go to on transfer-ability. Im still reading every response and really do appreciate any and all advice!Assistant: One word of caution, if you have any 4 year universities you plan on applying to, see if you can find out their policy on accepting transfer credits. Having transferred schools a few times, Ive found that theyll accept most of your credits, but might reject certain ones, or some might not count for your program.Human: Yeah, all the credits Im currently earning and most the ones Ill be getting actually attending Sinclair are at least regionally accredited which the 4 year I plan to go to accepts, though I still plan to meet with my adviser when it comes to scheduling and make sure all of them are.  <response>: This is where you have to be careful as I got duped by it too. Having the credits transfer isnt the issue, having the classes replace the classes at the 4 year school is where youll run into issues. Contact the 4 year schools youd want to transfer to and ask them if they have transfer info on the community college you are going to. If they are in the same region and they should have a list that shows what classes you can substitute for community college classes.
