Why do people HAVE to get into 4-year universities?

Why do people just HAVE to get into these 4-year schools that have admission processes that drive a person insane? Some people would just DIE if they couldn't get in and they have to go to community college. I went to community college before transfering to a 4-year university. The admission process is extremely simple and very cheap -- only $39 per credit hour (that's a current figure, by the way). All the classes transfered and I saved a ton in student loans.

Why do people HAVE to get into 4-year universities?

i honestly don't know. I went to CC, and the courses there were quite rigorous. I have found that no one cares where you took algebra, English Comp 101, Gepgraphy, and Intro to Lit. I think tha the whole 4-year thing is HYPE.

It's what they are taught about universities and colleges. There's a stereotype that says university courses are harder, and are worth more when an employer looks at ur transcrips or such. It's also said that if u want a post bachelorate degree, some graduate programs won't accept community college credits. I don't know abou the graduate school thing, but I'm in a community college now, and let me tell u, it's all in the classes u take, the teachers u have, and what ur good at..it doesn't matter if u take it at the local U, or CC. IF ur into saving money, and easing into school(CC's are a great transition from HS to 4-year), I'd go CC. Plus, the teachers there seem to have more time to devot to their students since they don't have to publish literature to get tenure, or maintain their faculty positions. It's all a matter of preference.

Sounds like an excellent solution to me. I would check first to see if all of the credits I intend to take will transfer, otherwise, it will be a waste of time and money for those that will not transfer.
