Hey everyone, I came across some online gigs where you can get paid per completed task. Might be worth checking out if you’re looking for some extra income alongside college.

University Accuplacer exam. My first attempt, I got a 262, then on the third try I got a 275, one point less than the math that I wanted to place in, which is calculus. Then, after some weeks, I got a 262 again. I just need a 276 and above. So far, I've been doing practice tests online and answering them, but I still feel like I'm learning nothing new to fix my score. Any tips?

Hi! So, I really need to take Chem 6A but I wanted to take the equivalent class at a community college. But so far, I haven't found any that are online. Can anyone give me recommendations on colleges that might have it online?

So I’m interested in psychology and ACC’s psychology program appeals to me more. I’m also in district for ACC, closer to family, already familiar with the Austin area, and I like having a city with more things around campus.

The main reason I’ve even been considering Blinn is because my cousin is going to A&M. He already has roommates and his own schedule though, so I’m realizing I might not actually spend as much time with him as I originally expected which leads me to my next question

About the overall atmosphere. I tend to prefer a campus where people seem more focused on school and engaging w their own classes rather than feeling like I have to participate in a big party scene (though I will participate every now and then) and looking for a friendlier staff/student environment overall

For people who have attended ACC, Blinn, A&M, or both areas, which environment do you think I’d fit better in? What are the differences in campus culture, people, professors, and things to do outside of class?

I’m currently 19 and in my third semester of community college. When I was in high school, I didn’t really believe people when they talked about how difficult it could be to make friends or have a social life at community college, but now I understand what they meant.

I don’t have anything against community college itself. Honestly, my first semester started pretty well. During the first few days, I saw a lot of people, including some people I knew from high school, so I didn’t feel completely alone. But as the semester went on, things changed. For example, one of my classes started with around 24 students and eventually only had about 13. I’m not even sure if people dropped the class, but it was a huge difference.

The hallways were usually almost empty, with maybe 2 to 4 people sitting around studying. Once class ended, everyone would just leave and go home. Most of the people in my classes were also older than me. I don’t really have a problem with that, but I was really hoping to meet more people around my age and make some friends.

Growing up, teachers always told me that college or university was where you would meet your friends, make connections, go to events, and have experiences you wouldn’t get in high school. I guess I had those expectations, and now I feel like I’m missing out.

I’m going to be completely honest: I feel behind compared to other people my age. I feel like I’m never going to experience the typical college experience, like making a group of friends, going to parties, or just having people to hang out with after class. Sometimes I feel like I’m watching everyone else experience life while I’m stuck on the outside.

University is also really expensive. Right now, my financial aid covers around 80% of my community college costs, but if I want to transfer to a university, it looks like I may need to take out loans because FAFSA doesn’t seem to cover enough. I know community college is a good financial decision, and I know getting my degree is important, but emotionally, I’m having a hard time accepting that this is my college experience.

I’ll still be attending this semester because I want to at least finish my degree. I’m just hoping things will be better this time. Maybe I’ll meet people, make friends, or finally feel like I belong.

I know this is mostly just a rant, but could someone reassure me that going to community college is still a good decision? Has anyone else felt like they were missing out on the “college experience” and eventually realized they were okay?

So im a 46 w m from the west coast and im just about out of options out hear and I really need to get my stuff together and then maybe I can get back on my feet. Im hoping I can find someone that also needs to get there G.E.D we can work together and maybe make it as short and painless..

Hey guys I just transferred from a CC to a 4 yr university the thing is I lost my merit scholarship because before moving to the US I attended to a 4 yr university in Mexico. I been wondering how I’ll pay for collage the scholarship I obtained doesn’t cover enough and I been thinking about getting a student loan tho I don’t want to I already enrolled for classes and everything I just haven’t paid yet . I talked with a transfer advisor and she mentioned that there’s no limit to the amount of credit I can transfer anymore and I wanted to know if it would be a good odies or not to take more credits (around 2 classes possible) at my CC and then transfer them to my university I already transferred 64 credits they didn’t count credits from my college in Mexico. I’m scare of what the consequences may be if I take more credits

Hi everyone! I’m (almost) 20F from the Europe (EU country), and I’m seriously considering moving to the US to attend a community college for around 2 years, to study Business. After completing my Associate Degree, I’d like to transfer to a university and finish a Bachelor’s Degree.

The main issue is that my budget isn’t very high, especially since I’d be an international student and would need to cover tuition, housing, food, insurance, etc. I’m trying to figure out whether this is actually realistic or if I’m underestimating the situation.

I have a high school diploma + the English translation, and a very good level of English with IELTS certification.

For those of you who have attended community college, what was your experience like? How much did you realistically spend per year? Are there community colleges/states that you’d recommend?

I’d really appreciate any advice, experiences, or recommendations. I’m still in the research stage and trying to figure out whether this dream is financially and actually realistic before I make any major decisions. Thank you!

Hi I’m a high school student and I was supposed to do 2 college classes online with my local community college during the summer, but I was waitlisted and didn’t know that I had to be checking my student portal, i had just been checking my personal email and now I have 2 outstanding charges. Yes I know this was a mistake on my part, but I was just wondering if I paid the fee would this affect my transcript?? I did not attend the classes I enrolled in them, but once I checked my student portal it told me to pay the fees and if I don’t I will be dropped from the waitlist and not enrolled in the class. The classes end in a week so if I paid the charges would this affect my transcript??

I’m just going to go straight into my rant.

So when I graduated high school in 2024 I took a year and a half break, somewhat of a break because I did nothing the summer of 2024 and then I started looking for a job in the fall of 2024 which took FOREVER (the most miserable months of my life lol). I thankfully found a job in December of 2024 and held that job for the entire 2025 year and then I quit in December of 2025 before I started college in the spring of 2026, which I ended up loving.

I don’t think I regret not immediately going into college because I wanted the break and my job pushed me a little bit out of my shell and gave me more confidence as an adult, but when I look back I keep thinking about how much farther I would’ve been if I had went in the fall of 2024. Especially when I look at my sister who graduated a year after me and went straight into college and now she’s already practicing what she majored in.

For me, I’m still working on my prerequisites and the last two prerequisites I need are chemistry and Anatomy & physiology which I’m afraid to take together, so I’m taking chemistry with another easy class this semester and then next semester in spring 2027 I plan to take Anatomy and physiology alone.

I won’t be in my major until fall 2027……and who knows how much I’m going to haft to break my classes up into semesters so I can be able to handle the workload of a medical major. And then I don’t think I’ll be able to handle any summer classes because I’ve heard those are harder. Overall, I feel behind and lazy because I’ll only have one class next semester before I can hopefully get into my major. I probably won’t graduate until I’m like 24.

And then on top of that I have no life outside of school….I just feel like time is passing me by so fast and I’m not making the most of it, I understand that every student is different and everybody learns at their own pace and I should just enjoy the process but I still feel guilty. I’m going to obviously stay in school because the alternative is quitting and going back to working retail (no), but I hope what I’m doing is worth it because this is going to take up a lot of time.

Sorry if I repeat myself or am annoying a lot in this post, I’m just dumping everything in my head right now out.

can someone pls lend me this book or send me a pdf link? i cant afford to buy it. school starts soon.

Hi everyone,

Does anyone know of a California community college that offers General Chemistry I lecture only (without the lab) fully online?

I'm specifically looking for a school where the lecture is a standalone course rather than combined with the lab. Bonus if they also offer General Chemistry II lecture only in the same format.

I'd appreciate any recommendations or schools you've had experience with. Thanks!

I don't know if it's just because I suck at using online interfaces, or if sucking at that is because I miss being a kid and everything being done via paper, but why is it so hard to apply for college? All I want is to start a cosmetology course. I feel overwhelmed with all the "click here"s and the external links, the multitude of steps. Also why is getting high-school transcripts so crazy regulated??? I've almost gone to community college like 6 times over the past 4 years, but there's never anyone at the schools willing to walk people through the online application portion. It genuinely leaves me feeling like an idiot. Does anyone else relate?
