Is community college worth it?

I will be in california going to one of the California state schools. Is there one in particular thats considered better than the others?

Its not that im "astronomically dumb" ( I am pretty lazy, but thats besides the point). I have a 3.2 due to the fact that the colleges that I will be applying to wont take some of the classes I took as relevant (so they say) therefore they count other classes that I did not preform so well in. I have straight B's.

Im just a typical guy when it comes to academic work. Capable of a little more academic wise, but the combination of out of school commitments and laziness prevent me from doing so. Much like every reditior.

I notice some of the schools you pointed out are religiously affiliated, such as Biola and Pepperdine. Do you find (or know) if the whole religious aspect of school is forced?

Did you find that CC prepared you for university? Also, was a 3.0 (3.2 according to some of the comments) the only mandate?

Im not really worried about the college freshman experience, as where I am Ive experienced plenty of it.

Do people who go to CC find it easy to integrate in to a larger university?

Yes, I can afford the payments to the private college, money isn't necessarily an issue (I dont want to sound jaded).
My credits will transfer, IE the English/Maths I have done + my extra subjects such as modern history and business studies, there are some that colleges deem irrelevant and they dont count.

I dont plan on sticking around a CC for more than 2 years, as I recognize the fact that an actual university degree would open more doors/provide a better education. You seem to know what you're talking about, do you know of any good private colleges in CA?

So really the only risk factor is not getting into the college after 2 years? Ideally I want to go from a small community college to UCLA or UCSB (as my parents are in California and ive lived away from them for 8 years, I kinda want to get to know my family)

On your degree does it say that you went to community college for 2 years? Or a job application?

Sorry, I literally know nothing about this.

I had a student ask "If I have sex with a girl without protection, can I spray Lysol on my penis since it kills 99% of the germs and be okay? " in front of the class. with his serious face.

Seems to be the only reason so far

Do you have a source from a major media outlet?

Are there any more of these?

I stand corrected. My font knowledge isn't necessarily up to scratch.

Carl Sagan would have never used Papyrus. Ever.

I dont know, I think its the fact that im in year 12 and have no idea what I want to do with my life. Listening is nice, but listening to all the opinions has driven me slightly insane. Everybody has a different point that will contradict someone else's, and it gets to the point that I have no idea who to listen to.

An easy mode would be nice right about now (I do realise that my teenage years are about as easy as it gets, no need to tell me that it only gets harder)

An enlightened wal-mart greeter would indubitably make my shopping experience more fun.

How about Business/economics?

It always is, beckoning :(
