Are there any prestigious community colleges?
I'm the first in my family that is going to go to college so its hard to ask them questions about stuff like this. I messed up my first 2 years of high school and i'm working on fixing that while keeping my current grades and future grades high. I talked to my counselor about college and he said, its too late to go to a university as a freshman and its easier to just transfer from a junior college to a university anyways. That kinda bummed me out because I was planning on going into a university as a freshman but that's okay. So my question is, is there any prestigious community colleges and if so, what are they and where are they. I live in California and don't want to go out of state so if you could name some in California, that would be great. Thanks in advance.

There are no "prestigious" community colleges. Even for the first two years of university level work, they are typically far inferior to all but the worst-rated universities. However, most states have programs whereby graduates with associate's degrees from state community colleges can transfer into state colleges, if they meet GPA & other requirements.

No. There are no prestigious community colleges. What you should talk to your counselor about is TAG. This is a program where six of the University of California campuses guarantee California community college students admission provided they meet the requirements of completing 30 transferable credit hours at a CC.
This is a great way for students to focus their community college efforts and then end up with a UC Bachelor's degree.

I can't answer he question but I can say that the local community colleges are not viewed favorably. Most people think of them as watered-down versions of colleges - that is why transfer of course credits can be difficult. I think using community college as a way to sort out what you might like to study is a reasonable idea - but realize that the quality of the education is not top-notch.

Prestigious, no. But, many of the CC's in CA offer quality education. Quality.
