honestly, i wish i had this video when i graduated hs. i got into all the cal states i applied to, but rejected from everywhere else and i felt like community college was the end of the world, but it’s actually such a good option. you save money, still have the option to go to your dream school, and you meet people who have so many different perspectives.
Thanks for the advice bro, I actually got into UCI and UCSD but honestly didn't feel like the two campuses were for me. I decided to take the CC route because my ultimate goal has always been USC. I have always been dedicated and hard-working and for that reason I believed in myself when I decided I would take this high risk high reward opportunity. I am confident I will soon get accepted to USC. Once again, thanks for keeping me motivated and reminding me that all this hard work and sacrifice will, in time, pay off!
I was a full time student at my local CC but ended up quitting because of some troubles in my life. Tonight, I'm deciding to sign up for classes once again after 4 years. I'm not looking to transfer, obviously, but i do want to accomplish something in life education wise. Your videos are really giving me some courage that this is something I can do myself. Thank u!
Great insight! My goal is to transfer to ucla. I want some redemption from hs I know i can do it and these videos give me a lot of comfort and confidence thanks!
I only got into two colleges lol. I think I’m going to Santa Barbara CC and I’m so nervous lol. But my goal is Penn State, USC, or UCLA. Your video helped me so much. After watching this I think I’m more comfortable with going to a CC
This kinda reminds me of when I was fresh out of hs and in the infantry. I was getting rained on in a trench cuddling with my comrades for warmth with a rifle in my arms. I would sneak a look at snap stories under my soaked rain poncho and just see all my friends partying in college and I was like fmllll 😂
the thought about community college students slacking off could just be your cc. my cc has students that maintain passion and passion about transferring, these students are very smart and have grit.
I got into all 20 schools that I applied to and a lot of them are in top 25 schools in America I can’t afford it. My guidance counselor recommended me to go a community college then transfer.
I'm an international student and I'm thinking study computer science at community college then transfer to Virginia Tech and I confused about this but ur videos are really helpful thank you Kendrick.
Opinions on my situation? I’m a 3.9 GPA 1350 SAT, only took honors and AP classes in high school looking into community college. I’ve gotten into a couple schools I like so far and even my “dream schools” are a target/slight reach school. I’m only thinking of going to CC tho because it’s free instead of paying 30k a year. But the other thing is I’m just naturally smart and unless I have very driven people around me I often slack off and don’t have the best self control. Anyone’s opinion would be appreciated as to what I should do
No matter where you go to, if you stick with it, you'll be able to receive benefits/opportunities in either choice. It all comes down to you making the most out of the resources handed to you. CC is a great (and smarter) option if you're aiming to be less in debt with your career once college is over (doesn't mean NO debt, just less), but going straight into a 4-year institution is also a good choice if you know what you want to be/do as soon as hs is over. If you know you're naturally smart and work better in environments with people who are also driven to do their part in college, a 4-year is a good way to go. I'm not saying people from CC's don't have that drive to do their maxed out potential, but the likelihood of meeting others in the same boat you're in is greater at a 4-year compared to a CC. Because, CC's accept everyone, and not everybody is in the same stage of their lives as you. At a 4-year, they select a certain amount of individuals that display potential; you're thrown into the world of living by yourself, making decisions on what to eat & wear & pay, and having to handle everything in your own way in a new environment to reach that one certain goal. Why go into that mess so quickly when you have 2 years that'll prepare you? I myself am taking the CC then transfer route because I'll earn and save more money this way, I'm not too heavily impacted by the lack of parties or even people, and I'll be getting rid of those pesky GEDs immediately. I, like you, work better depending on the environment but I maintain my drive only because of myself. People are there, and that's all they'll ever really be. You can engage in conversations, make new lifelong friends, talk to professors and try to put yourself out there- but the experiences are going to be different in both settings depending how you handle them. tl;dr: Going to a CC is smart, only if you know you'll be consistent with your studies for one or two years. If the major drawbacks of a CC impact you so much, then don't go. But if it doesn't, then I recommend going. If it's still stressing you out then keep watching videos and decide. It took me one video from this channel to find out what's best for me, and for you that might not be the case because I don't know what is best for you, only you really do. Hopefully you made your decision already, have a great time wherever you may go!
KENDRICK H. RHEE that’s what’s up my boy had a basketball option there but he’s going to Ohlone CC in Fremont CA now to play ball there in California coming from the east coast in South Carolina.Any advice for him?
You are so right about loosing focus. I started community with a 3.7 now I dropped to a 2.6 so I’m like whatever school I get into whatever school I get into community suckssss!!
Transfer to colleges when your scores are the highest. Even if its mediocre, you will still graduate. It honestly wont matter where you go, as long as you get the education you think you need and get your degree to meet those job requirements
Melissa Charles I’m in a similar boat with you. I got in to LMU and USF but LMU financial aid wasn’t good. USF gave me good aid but I’m debating on whether or not to take it. I feel like I might do CC grind it out and transfer to a top 25 college. But again CC isn’t that easy and nothing is guaranteed when you transfer.
I thought That CC was Pretty Good and I get alot of piece and Quit! Im in my 2nd year and Not realize how boring it’s really getting and It’s making me ready to Transfer even more, Plus I heard that Universities are fun asf, party’s, hanging out, Gym and plenty more! Like God Im so ready to Transfer now😩
Hey man idk if youre gonna read this but im a senior and applied to most calstates but tbh i think that theyre not that good. So i was wondering whats your opinion on them and also what CC did you go to?
Thanks for the advice man, but I got a question, as you said USC is a good college and stuff but what was holding you back from getting into a even better college? Im pretty sure I am also going to do do the same transfer down the road, and that's why I am asking
I think that is kind of rude that you repeat so many times that CC sucks. Cc are a great opportunity when you are smart enough to take advantage of the opportunities
I feel fine about most of the classes I will be taking, but I'm pretty nervous about calculus ngl. Do you have any tips on succeeding in high-level math classes?
@@KRHEE thx and yeah it seems like that's the only way I'm gonna be able to do it. I got mostly B's in high school math but didn't do shit and fucked around all day. It looks like I've gotta grow up and hunker down.
Hi, thank you for the video I am an international student and considering to attend a community college, because I got rejected from my top choice universities. I actually accepted to Boston University, Villanova University, and Emerson College, but none gave me a full scholarship( I am an Asian so I need scholarships) However, I found community college's tuition fee is quite affordable and can you give me some advice on which cc is best for international student?

@@di7534wow! your response was amazing. did you end up going to university after cc?
why would I as an international student go to to 4-year uni if I can barely afford it
Hey man, your videos are very inspiring and hella funny. I was wondering, which CC did you attend?
FAZe srikar P las Positas college
KENDRICK H. RHEE that’s what’s up my boy had a basketball option there but he’s going to Ohlone CC in Fremont CA now to play ball there in California coming from the east coast in South Carolina.Any advice for him?
You are so right about loosing focus. I started community with a 3.7 now I dropped to a 2.6 so I’m like whatever school I get into whatever school I get into community suckssss!!
Why did you loose focus?
Here’s the million dollar question: what classes do I take, and does it matter?
Did you do the honors program in community college?
I just graduated june 27, 2020
I'm 19 years old... Want to become an anesthesiologist.
Good goal
Thanks

I applied to ETH Zürich from USA and I got in. That was the only option I had and I consider myself as lucky but not sure...
Got into Syracuse and Mass State schools but can’t afford to go without taking out loans so looks like we going to community

Washed Hypebeast ikr but honestly it’s a smaller pool of competition when u transfer than straight out of college. #CantBeCripppledWithDebt
what job did the degree get you after you graduated?

8:00 i dont give a fck about partying, hate it. So there is no sacrifice.
Hey man idk if youre gonna read this but im a senior and applied to most calstates but tbh i think that theyre not that good. So i was wondering whats your opinion on them and also what CC did you go to?
Same and UCLA rejected me but I’m on waitlist for UC Davis and Cal Poly Pomona
I see you like basketball, you ever gonna post basketball related content?
What community college did you go?
Thanks for the advice man, but I got a question, as you said USC is a good college and stuff but what was holding you back from getting into a even better college?
Im pretty sure I am also going to do do the same transfer down the road, and that's why I am asking
usc was the only school i wanted to go to
Do you think going to community college then not transferring is a waste ?
Depends on what you want to do for your career, some jobs only require an associate
@@Lee-S22let’s say I just want an administrative job or just a general job that deals with finance or business
@@tuilleri transfer and get a bachelors then
when it came to letters of rec did u just ask the teachers u had during your freshman year of cc?
Freshmen and soph yr
I think that is kind of rude that you repeat so many times that CC sucks. Cc are a great opportunity when you are smart enough to take advantage of the opportunities
Just bc something sucks doesn’t mean it’s not a great opportunity.... running sucks cuz it’s hard and tiring .... but it’s a great exercise ....
Thank yoooooooou
What were your ECs?
read the description in my main transferring vid - theres more detail there
How long did it take you to transfer?
2 yrs
I feel fine about most of the classes I will be taking, but I'm pretty nervous about calculus ngl. Do you have any tips on succeeding in high-level math classes?
Lol I struggled in pre calc too.... only tip is to study 2x more... to the point where ur confident on the material... no other way imo
@@KRHEE thx and yeah it seems like that's the only way I'm gonna be able to do it. I got mostly B's in high school math but didn't do shit and fucked around all day. It looks like I've gotta grow up and hunker down.
