If you've been to both, did you feel there was a huge difference between the two?  One was easier, one had better teachers, class sizes, etc...

Which one did you ultimately like better?

There's a bigger difference between the to. Four year colleges have bigger class sizes, harder courses, but a better advisor to student ratio.

My opinion? You're better off going to a four year college. You're going to get a better job with a four to five year diploma paper than a Junior College paper.

I used it in terms of being both.  The community colleges that I know in this area are all two-year colleges.  But many people here use them to transfer in to a four year school.

I thought that my two-year college was easier, but I also felt like the teachers were better and that I learned more from my classes. I'm not sure if it was just my opinion or my viewpoint, but I definitely liked the feel of my CC better than my university. I felt that I did much better, and that the aura of academics made me want to succeed more than in the university.

Universities (at least, the ones that are around me. I'm in Southern California so we don't really have smaller universities here) tend to be more of a fend-for-yourself education, which is great for lots of people, and something that you should really learn to handle to accomplish anything in the "real world" anyway. But that's one of the reasons why I found my CC to be more...enjoyable. It was a lot like high school, and I liked high school, I liked that atmosphere.

So when you're happy (Hurray!), or sad (Aw!),
Or frightened (Eeek!), or mad (Rats!)
An interjection starts a sentence right.

Ah, that's interesting.  I feel like my CC class is too... easy, in a sense.  It's nice that the teacher has more time to dedicate to students because of smaller class sizes, but I feel like I learn more (and in better detail) in my university classes.
