College for all - right?

[Kevy Baby]

On a separate note, I have always been an advocate of getting GE (General Education) requirements out of the way (possibly getting an AA) at a community college and then transferring in to your four-year institution for your major stuff.

1. It is much less expensive
2. It (usually) makes it much easier to get into your preferred university (I know at Cal Poly, they put a higher priority on CC transfers)
3. Generally speaking, GE classes are the ones that always give people trouble at the University level.
4. You (often) transfer in as a Junior or close to it. This sometimes gives you a little priority in class selection, etc. (see #3).
5. You sometimes meet your wife (or husband)*

I am not sure what the downside would be - if someone has feedback on this, I am curious to know.
