Now if it is a necessity then I guess you cannot do anything about it but this is just my experience. I am turning 21 in two weeks (already tell people I am 21 though, I mean I am almost there right?) and for the past 2 years of my life I have been at a local commuter school. If things go right I might be able to transfer to a D-1A school pretty soon to finish my college years! I will give you my situation, how it ended up this way, and OF COURSE, what I think (in terms of game and relationships).

Since I am a member, I want to contribute.

Community college = 2 year college people go to in order to learn a skill, get an associate's degree, or to take classes at till they can transfer to a big university.

Commuter School = school with no dorm life, varying ages, and is basically a 4 year university which gives degrees, I consider it a 4 year community college.

How did I end up in this situation?

Came from an immigrant family. Dad did not know what he was doing so he sent me to a small school with no sports since it was geared towards engineering. Was a very bad school, didn't have many activities, most of the population was inner city kids who just wanted to get out of their situation in every single way. I have no issues with anyone there except with my parents being health care workers making a decent salary, I wondered why they couldn't buy a house in a better suburban district. They never told me much but lets just say at my high school I was told an 1800 SAT score with a 3.2 GPA could get you into Yale (I KNOW THAT ISN'T TRUE). So I am here. As a man, I admit most of it was my mistake.

Why the hell am I posting this on here? How is any of this relevant to GAME?

THE GOLDEN QUESTION of course. I know that this place has a lot of young kids too, maybe some of you have younger relatives going through the college admissions process. Outside of it being cheaper, I saw no benefit of going to a commuter school.

Why did I not like most of it?

- In terms of GAME, very few girls my age group around, quite a lot of older married women. We had a few 40+ year olds in my classes.

- extremely cliquish, I mean we had mostly local kids from high schools in the area and the suburban county. All of them would form cliques which would be impenetrable. The 7s and up would usually be from the suburban county and would only hang with a certain clique which went to their high school, you didn't go to their high school? Have fun being viewed as awkward when you talked to them.

- would be shut down after 2 PM on Fridays, hard to find anyone there, and on weekends it would be dead. Summer vacations? Some students take summer classes but it was mostly quiet.

- HARD to get a social life going at all, only choice was to rush a frat and that was around $500. Not a lot of things going on at all on campus.

- Psychologically and mentally degrading if I am using the correct language here. Old friends and neighbors asking what you are doing at home in your college years, knowing your friends are away at REAL colleges living the college life, the depression you get sometimes wondering if you will ever truly get to enjoy your college years, etc.

My word?

If you can, do your best to go away to a college that has dorms.

Now time for my question

How screwed am I really? I started college in the spring semester, after the coming fall semester I will be done with 2 years of college, thinking about transferring. If I do transfer to a d-1a school, how bad will my social life be there? Will it be very difficult to break in with the crowd and such?

If you think by going to a 'regular' university all of a sudden you're going to get laid like mad - you're wrong.

A player has the mindset that wherever he is at is the best location, and he will strive to slay all the available poosay on-hand. A player doesn't 'yearn' for a grass-is-greener-on-the-other-side university in order to get laid. If he does, he aint a player.

In other words, if you can't get laid where you're at making do with what you got, ain't nuttin gonna change by going to a regular college. In fact, my sex life has improved since graduating college.

[Edmunds]

well the issue is that I live at home with parents (changing that in a few months) and I hardly get to see much girls around my age group, especially during the summer time

[HiFlo]

so whats your point?

[Edmunds]

in order for me to put a soccer ball into a goal, the goal has to be there in the first place

I don't run into girls my age at all during summer time at my university. Point being, it is much more difficult than a regular 4 year school. Of course I have two friends who transferred that can certainly agree with this YET at the same time I can see where you come from, maybe it is my lack of experience and mindset which may even stop me from getting laid at a d-1a school. Add that to a list of things to work on.

[HiFlo]

so work on your nightgame to swoop? dedicate an hour or two every couple days to going to Target to swoop.

the point im trying to make is u have to make the best of what u got. going to a full-fledged university is not going to change shit, because you have to prove that you're able to adapt FIRST.

Commuter universities can be harder, since people tend to be more serious in their studies actually. It's like lawyer chicks with man suit blazers. A non-commuter community college where everyone is close is probably easier. Join school clubs, start your own, go to class early and talk to the other early people, go to fucking meetup.com if you want to develop a social life.

There is no shame in going to community college, that's only in your head. Don't be an idiot who paid too much for their degree, and get something useful!

Edmunds, bro. Do you think it would be effiecient , as far as Academics are concerned, to transfer to a community college? I personally went to a community college with dorms with a population of about 5000. It was one hell of an experience. I didn't do well academically, so I took a different path in my life and temporarily dropped. Though it was fun ( lots of poon and other great memories) I'll have you know that there definitely were social cliques and they will become hard to break in to. Because of this at the beginning of the fall semester it is your job to make friends with EVERYONE, mainly freshman. Both women and men. By the time everyone is cliqued up, you will have connects all over. It's like putting a shark in a fish tank bro. You'll get the loop on most of the parties and have the typical Players advantage over the Joe Schmoes.
Besides these cliques and tight circles, there are almost always chicks that don't party and you will either see them on their way to class, in class, or at the dorm. The ladder is up to you.
It's so invigorating knowing that you will be fucking a lot of bitches while, at the same time, developing your future career.

I agree you have to make the best of your situation, but to act like there is no difference just seems like folly in my experience.

I travel 30 mins to go to school and I think it's a good change of venue

I actually transferred after my first year at a school similar to OP's and though a lot of that stuff rings true, one thing I can say to any young kids reading this is definitely give the theater and arts major type places a try, music departments a try too. The university I went to had the finest looking girls in the arts and music section, some of them look better than the traditional type college I am at now.

Nobody at these kinds of schools really wants to hang out and chat though, thats what sucks. People are there to take those 1 or 2 classes or just get their stuff together and transfer or graduate. I had a better time having a social life outside of college my first year than inside of college itself. Hard to make friends with 30 somethings when they have a family to feed and are just trying to get those courses and get that career.

Unless you have been there, it is hard to describe but if I was to describe it in one word, it would be depressing, really really depressing indeed. It is like an extension of high school.

Remember to drop by the arts and music sections, even get involved in plays and such, you will really be breaking into cliques that way.
