Comments on: Is it COMMON to enter a less desired university and transferring to a more desired university later? http://www.rubabataineh.com/university/is-it-common-to-enter-a-less-desired-university-and-transferring-to-a-more-desired-university-later Sun, 20 May 2012 20:27:14 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7 hourly 1 By: KabbaSurabie http://www.rubabataineh.com/university/is-it-common-to-enter-a-less-desired-university-and-transferring-to-a-more-desired-university-later/comment-page-1#comment-6610 KabbaSurabie Sun, 27 Sep 2009 03:51:59 +0000 http://www.rubabataineh.com/university/is-it-common-to-enter-a-less-desired-university-and-transferring-to-a-more-desired-university-later#comment-6610 I agree. It's a very common practice. I went to a four-year, private university that had a hefty tuition price tag. We had A LOT of people transfer in from two-year colleges, though. By doing so they: saved money (community college is WAY cheaper than my school's tuition); had a chance to prepare themselves for more rigorous college studies; may have had a second chance to prove to themselves and/or colleges that they're college material; got all (or most) of the four-year universities core/general classes out of the way for much cheaper than if they'd enrolled full-time. This is very, very normal. I know a lot of motivated, intelligent people who went to community college before transferring. And in the long-run, you get your four-year degree from the same university that all of the other students have gone to all four years. So, on paper, you're exactly the same. Hope this helps you some. :)<br><b>References : </b><br> I agree. It’s a very common practice. I went to a four-year, private university that had a hefty tuition price tag.

BUT i know that there are less desired universities that in a specific subject/s are much better than the overall better universities. also, what's very important when going to college/uni is that you feel comfortable around that place, with the way they teach you, the requirements, the location where you'll live etc. g'dluck :) and Lisa P is right, some of my friends did just that.<br><b>References : </b><br> hi. i like the way you asked your question. so ill tell you what i know, hope it helps: in general you have universities that are better than others.
