i definitely recommend considering a community college for recent high school graduates. many of us don't necessarily know what sort of career paths we would like to take when we are fresh high school graduates and the community college provides an excellent place to experiment with different electives and take your general education courses.

My advice for future SCC students would be to get good grades and take your general classes first to get them out of the way before starting classes for your major. Also, research universities and transfer programs early and make sure all of your credits will transfer. It would also be helpful to join clubs and meet people to network with (especially if you are looking to transfer to ASU since a majority of SCC teachers and faculty either teach at ASU currently or used to teach there.)

Do not think that just because you get good grades in high school that it is going to come so naturally in college. Make sure you figure out what technique for studying is best for you. Study a lot and study often.

Take all your general courses your first year of college. This will not only benefit you, but it will also be a way for you to decide exactly which career path to take. Talk to several counselors, and teachers, they are always there to help.

Make sure to save some fun classes till your last year and take a math every semester so your not stuck with a year of math. When talking to an adviser make sure they know what they are talking about. I highly recommend Fonda.
