Community college is not a waste of time...the stuff you learn there is the same stuff you learn in your first two years...Just be sure to look at the requirements of the major at the college you want to go to so you'll have all the courses you need to succeed....I went straight to a four year college but a friend of mine is at a comm college and he's doing the same stuff...Just make sure you get the best grades possible and take the classes that will set you up for success in your 4yr college...Talk to advisers at both the comm college and the 4 year school....Comm college is a cheaper way to get a good education so if money is tight than it's not a waste of time....

Although the name would certainly lead me to believe that this was a private technical college, their website suggests that they are a public school in Indiana. Normally, a community college is a 2-year college which offers an associate's degree, and a state college is a public 4-year university offering a bachelor's degree. Looking at their website, however, I see no evidence that they offer anything beyond the associates level and, given that Indiana already has a rather complicated system of Purdue campuses and Indiana State University and Ball State University and the like, I'm not at all sure that this isn't just a system of community colleges which, because they have campuses in various locations, calls itself a "state" college.
