Is it weird that i feel ashamed about not going to a University?

Question

im going to a commuity college and i just dont feel right or something is that normal?

Answer 1

Nope

On my senior year on high school, when people asked me which college im going to, I hated it. I felt ashamed that i wasnt goin to a university and I just kinda nod. Plus, I'm mostly friends with the smart crowd, people goin to berkeley, ucla, etc. and it made me feel more embarassed

But ya, I know exactly what you mean.

Answer 2

No,it's not wrong, and many people feel this way at first.  But think about it.  Why spend three and four times the money going to an expensive University when you can accomplish something at a Community College.  You can at least get your AA degree cheaper at a Community College than a four year University, and I think saving money makes you smarter than those that go to a University.

My son went to a Community College for two years in a technical trade and makes $40,000 a year in his second year on the job.  And, he's very happy!

Answer 3

No its perfectly normal.

I know TONS of people that got to a community college for 2 years then transfer to a university.

It saves you lots of money :)

Answer 4

im sure it is. maybe a university isnt for you. community colleges are kinda in my eyes made out to seem as though theyre for slackers or something like that but whatever. im going to a community college first just because im not ready to jump right into a 4 year school.

Answer 5

Do you think it's going to matter in 10 years?  It will when the ones going to the university are still paying off their student loans!!!

Community College is an excellent way to get started in the college arena - from there you can decide where to go, a university, or straight into a career path.  

Answer 6

there is nothing wrong with a community college.

if anything you found the perfect loophole to save you tons of money.

no matter were you go to school, you are making a smart investment towards your future.
