MrSkippyJ Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 Just out of curiosity, why not go juco for a couple years and then go to a bigger school? Thats definitely what I should've done and regret not doing it. Saves you money AND the classes are easier for the most part. i did that, i wouldn't recommend that to anyone. it so much less stressful to stretch your major classes across 4 years than to try and cram them into 2 years. It actually took me longer to finish my degree because of going somewhere else first. Plus any transfer issues that come up. It's better than not going, but IMO I wouldn't recommend doing it that way.

I'm a freshman in ME at KSU, and some of the kids in my fraternity did it both ways. Transfer issues suck, yes, but getting the gen eds out of the way at an easier and cheaper college really looks like the smart option after my experience this semester. A lot of engineers go for 9 or 10 semesters anyways. I can see where you're coming from though.

MrSkippyJ Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 Well it really depends on the schools and programs to be honest. Most gen ed classes aren't going to be significantly easier at another school. And depending on your program, you may not have any classes you can take inside your program at the first school. You would be doubling up on gen ed classes at the first place and your major classes at the second place. that sucks. it can work, it can be cheaper but it is difficult to make it work well. Of course, I am totally speaking from the experience I had between the 2 schools I went too. It may be totally different where you are.
