Maybe give some free advice about: Colleges & Universities?
Some of the main disadvantages:
-having to leave a newly formed group of friends
-not all your credits may transfer
-having to learn all about the new campus
-having to learn all about new professors
-basically, having to start entirely over
I transferred after only one year and it sucked so I can only imagine how much worse it would be after two years.
Some of the main advantages:
-the transition from high school to college will be less stressful
-you'll have more opportunities
-you'll have more experiences
-it's much easier to get into a community college
-you'll get to make connections with people from both colleges
Make the decision based entirely on your education. The other stuff isn't quite as important. Even though the change wasn't pleasant for me, I am still very glad that I did it. I'm on a much better track for my future career.
If you decide to start at the community college, make the decision as you go. You may end up wanting to just stay there. A degree is a degree after all. Good luck. :)
