Is university better then community college?

Is it better to transfer from a community college or a university?

  • I intend on transferring eventually to UT Austin's radio-television-film program. I know its very competitive but I am a strong student. I know these stats aren't considered in transfer applications but my SAT score was a 2180 and my uw GPA was a 3.8 (4.2 weighted). My parents have ofered to pay $5000 a year for college for me. So my question is- is it better to start at community college and get my pre-reqs out of the way for communication and then transfer to Austin or would I have a better chance of getting in if I attend UT dallas and transferred from there. There is something called automatic admission but I don't qualify because I was in Israel for high school. If i went the community college route I could save up money because its only $2000 a year (including books) and I could save the extra $3000 from my parents plus work. If I went to UTD I'd have to work and I would have no extra money to save for UT Austin... dilemmas, dilemmas....

Go straight to your major! Community college is a nice fundamental but why waste money when you can automatically start at the college with your major take the basic classes and eventually (for lack of better words) fall into your area or study? Nothing is wrong with community, I have been there myself but it is such a hassle trying to figure out exactly what you can and can not take and which credits are transferable! Good Luck with whatever you decide :) xoxoxox

Neither is better. Radio-TV-film program graduates find few or no job opportunities in an overcrowded and shrinking job market. Welcome back to the US.
