  8. Transfer Myths & Misconceptions • The two year college is a waste of my time. All I will take is “bone head” classes. • Going to a CCC is going to hurt my transfer opportunities. • If I take longer than 2 years at a CCC, it looks bad on my college application. • I’m going to do my GE and get outta here. • I didn’t do well on my SAT or ACT. I think this may limit where I can go. • I plan on staying at the community college 1 year and transferring.
