Associates to Bachelors Programs 
For many years I’ve been hearing about the money you can save by attending a community college for the first two years of college and then transfer to a four year school.  Many years ago the Philadelphia Inquirer published an article about the quality instruction at two year schools vs. four years schools at the first and second year levels.  Many introductory courses are taught in smaller classes at two year schools whereas in four year schools, especially large schools these introductory courses are taught in large lecture halls with over one hundred students.  Has anyone out there had a great two to four year experience? What schools were involved?  Did you plan your course of study in advance?

Here is an opportunity you might be interested in:

A new option awaits Iowa community college students who hope to transfer to the University of Iowa on or after the 2008 spring semester.

The 2 Plus 2 plan is a new university scholarship program that provides academic advising and $1,000 to students from all Iowa community colleges who plan to enroll at the university after completing their associative arts degree in one of at least 12 majors, including business, English and psychology.

"We're seeing more and more students who start their academic career at community college because it's less expensive, then decide to transfer to one of the state universities to finish their degree," said Emil Rinderspacher, senior associate director of admissions at the university.
