Hi
I’m a first time community college student (I was kinda forced into community college because I moved states senior year and had horrible issues with residency at the 4 year I was going to go to)

I heard that only around 29-30% of community college student gets their bachelor’s degree and that over 80% of community college students plan on transferring to a 4 year

I’m scared of being in the 70% of people who don’t transfer😭
My community college has a program where all credits transfer to any college in my current state but the transfer rates at my comm college is around 29%

I’m lowkey scared of failing

I can’t even drive either so I’m already mega mega behind because of this weird move

Hi!
I am 18 and feel behind on life
I graduated Hs in may and then immediately moved to a new state like 3 days later
I was originally going to do college in my current state but unfortunately couldn’t because of residency and not being able to appeal
I am currently enrolled in 12 credit hours/4classes at my local cc (3 in person classes and one online) I would only need to go in person 2 times a week
I never had a actual job before nor do I have a drivers license (I used to have a drivers permit though)

I have no clue if I’m considered behind or a loser I don’t know I am planning on getting my license and eventually getting a part time job

I enrolled in 12 credit hours (4 classes) at my local Cc I’m confused if this is normal? Especially since I saw that most students take 15+ credit hours? My advisor did not recommend me taking more than 12 credit hours and I would apparently need permission to enroll in more? Idk I’m just wondering ig

Hi ! To preface this I moved states after I graduated HS I originally applied to a college in my current state that I could commute too unfortunately I learned that I needed to apply as a out of state student (which was fine ig and I applied anyway) I ended up getting a scholarship that made it so I had instate tuition (yay?) I then planned on looking for more scholarships and then go into orientation, there was a scholarship in which I could get a full paid off tuition (huzzah) but I could not apply for it until I became resident (ok???) I went to orientation and asked abt it apparently I couldn’t appeal my residency until either second semester or I was a sophomore and if I wanted to change it I would have to get rid of my scholarship for an entire academic year (which meant I had to pay out of state) I then decided to unenroll and look into community instead only to find community WOULD BE ALMOST AS MUCH as the college I was planning to go to 🥀 I then went to appeal my residency for community and let’s just say it was a 2-3 week long fight but I ended up winning (and I might even be awarded the big free tuition scholarship but I still need to ask about it) but seriously why has college been such a fight for me 🧍‍♂️I graduated with like a 3.5-3.6 gpa (almost honors)
