I still don’t understand why kids aren’t starting at Nvcc then transferring

It’s simple. Spend two years minimum getting all your prerequisite credits, get good grades, maybe join a club, then get the fuck out. No one cares whether you spent two years at community college or spent your full 4 years at a 4 year college. In many cases, it doesn’t even matter what you get your associates in. No one cares. Save yourself some cash, work part time while you study to pay bills, save and maybe for beer and move on.

Instead of partaking worrying about getting in to your “dream” school right away, so your time at nvcc, then transfer to it to save yourself the money. Of course if you want to get into MIT, Harvard, Princeton or Yale, that’s a different story. I do know people who’ve transferred in to Cornell, Columbia and UCLA, Michigan from nvcc. If UVA, VT, W&M are your schools of choice, nvcc is your friend.

Learn a trade and get a degree. I got my hvac certification, then about ten years after went back to school to get a degree so I could climb up the ladder. Also got my PMP and my MBA. All of it was on the employer’s dime.

There is no substitute for freshman year at a 4-year college. Living in the dorms is crazy fun.

What are you trying to get from college? If it is just a degree then NoVa plus transfer is the right step for a motivated student. College is about more than just degrees. It is about Opportunities. Differences in opportunities play a big role in those school ratings programs. They are real.
Those opportunities can start early. Two of my kids got their post graduation jobs based on internships they did either during the summer after their sophomore year or during their junior year. A kid landing in the school at the start of junior year isn't going to be as competitive for those slots as a kid who was in the school for two years. Sorry but a potential employer isn't going to look at your 3.8 at NoVa the same way as he would the same grades at VT, UVA or W&M.
NoVa plus transfer is a good option if you can't afford 4 years of traditional college. It may be a good option for a kid who only became a good student late in high school and wouldn't get into a good college. It isn't the same thing as attending a better school for four years. Now if you could combine NoVa with relevant work you could end up more competitive than the kids who lacked that experience, bur that is a separate variable.

The OP is correct. My daughter's degree is from UVA, but she went to NVCC to two years. Saved us about $40K and was guaranteed to be accepted if she kept her GPA at 3.7 or above. She knocked out the preq courses, worked a part-time job and got into UVA easy-peasy. And the company that hired her only knows that she graduated from UVA and doesn't know jack about the NVCC part because no one really reads transcripts anyway. My son is a senior and will doing the same thing, only with W&M.

And they have no friends from college because they got there two years late. And they missed about 150 parties.

If you think paying an extra $40-50 just to party is a worthwhile investment, you are a bigger loser than most here and that’s a tall task.

Its the experience and the adventure, you horse's ass. If you deny your children a priceless experience like freshman and sophomore years of college because you're a cheap bastard, then you are a fucking loser. Which I wouldn't care about, but its your children who miss out.

That’s overplaying it. You don’t need college parties to network. I went to nova and transferred to GW, which isn’t a big party school and made plenty of connects via LinkedIn and just going out to Martins and old ebbit grill to schmooze.

Imagine being this guy and paying 10's of thousands to "network" and go to keggers.
You can't fix stupid and this guy is the definition of stupid.

I went to 4 years of a good school, and made way more friends than a buddy and GF of mine who transferred in as jrs.
they couldn't get into a frat or sorority, and were kind of lost.
I didn't do a frat, but, living in dorms the freshman year, and just having that extra two years was all the difference.
By people's jr and sr years, they are living off campus, they've already got their cliques, many have settled down with girlfriends or boyfriends.
if you are trying to make friends with them as jr's, theyre like, "who's this weird townie that keeps showing up?"
My social and business network and fabric via school is way better than theirs.
And that makes it well worth it.

Not really.
Going to kegger is what people do as college youngsters.
If you think you meet people, lifelong friends and future business contacts, in college by going to high tea, you sir, are the definition of stupid.

I know some transfer kids and they never quite fit in. Even with a degree from UVA the fact that you were a transfer kid from a community college is going to bring you down your entire career. The first two years of college are the most important years. Any money "saved" by going to community college is going to cost you in the long run.

Life is a lot like driving through traffic.
The earlier start you get, usually the better.
One person hits a stop light, while the other doesn't...sure, maybe it's only a ten second stop light...but in that time, the other guy is through the next stop light.
and on and on it goes. Sure, you can catch up, but requires a ton more effort and a little luck.
Best to work on getting a fast start and getting through each rite of passage as quickly as you can, so you can start attacking the next thing.
each little advantage turns into multipliers, not additions.
Get to the best college you can, make the best relationships, get to the best job as soon as you can, make the best relationships...etc...

My daughter fit it just fine. She DID join a sorority and lived at the sorority house her senior year. She has a couple of really good friends from UVA who she goes on vacation with.
Most people don't hang out with college friends once they move out of their parents house and get jobs. They hang out with their neighbors or friends from work. Then they get married and have a couple of kids and start hanging out with the parents of their kid's friends and their neighbors and friends from work.
All the fucktards on here saying otherwise are either childless losers who never even went to college or someone younger than 25 and no real life experiences yet.

So you couldn't afford to send your kid to college the full four years? College educations here in Virginia are dirt cheap so I guess you are a loser but I will give you some credit for giving her the opportunity to earn a UVA diploma.
People who cannot afford to educate their children should not have children. I hope your daughter can break the cycle of neglect and pay for her kids education.

"most people don't hang out with their college friends"...
How do you know? Did you take a survey?
I'll actually grant that it is true in my case.
I don't hang out with my dear friends from college who live in NYC, Chicago, New Orleans, Jacksonville, Dallas...
It's just too far.
But I do have substantial contacts in business in various cities that can make valuable introductions, and for my career, that has made a huge impact.
Much more so than if I didn't meet these people in college.
I guess if you've never experienced it, you won't know.
But for me, it has made a substantial positive impact.

So you think everyone should go tens of thousands of $ in debt because of the experiences of one anonymous troll on a backwater web site? Got it.
My brother skipped college and went to work as an electrician out of HS. By the time his friends were graduating from college, he was a journeyman electrician making more than 95% of any of his friends who went to college. He's now a licensed electrician who has three crews working for him and he just does the final inspections and signs off on their work. He's pulling in $150K a year and turning business away. Should everyone do that because of my brother's 'experience'?

No.
The "issue" that I addressed was "people don't hang out with their buddies from college."
I addressed that issue with MY personal success story.
And, the point was, I'm not "hanging out with them"...although, they are still a major part of my life.
Learn to read and get the point before getting all angry and saying, hey, "just 'cus it works for you, doesn't mean it's gotta work for my electrician brother!"
That's not what I said.

The son will not miss any parties at W&M; there are none. The number of friends made in their final two years will depend on what activities they are involved in and how sociable their personalities are. An extra two years would make very little difference.
