Does your community college GPA matters after you graduate and transfer to a 4 years college?
Every grade, at every level of college, counts. Never "give up," or slow down, or stop working hard. NEVER. Whatever you do at community college absolutely COUNTS toward your four-year bachelors degree GPA. That's because what you do at community college will BECOME PART of the four-year bachelors degree. If you do a year at community college, then that counts as your first (freshman) year of the four-year bachelors degree. Your grades during that first year, therefore, matter because they will be factored-in to your four-year bachelors GPA. If you do two years at community college -- even if you emerge therefrom with an "Associate of Arts" (AA) or an "Associate of Science" (AS) degree -- said degree will count as the first two (freshman and sophomore) years of the four-year bachelors degree... and so, therefore, the grades you earned therein will COUNT. School is harder for some and easier for others. That's just the way it is in life. If you're the kind of person who has to work really hard in order to get decent grades, then so be it. That's, frankly, the way most people are. If it was easy for everyone, then the colleges/universities would make it even harder so that the average student would still be challenged. I'm sorry that you don't have much of a "free life," but if that's what it takes to do well, then that's what you will have to do. It's only four years of your life. The only reason you think that's a reallly long time is because at this moment, four years is about 20% to 25% of the time you've been alive (assuming you're around 18 to 20). But when you're forty, four years is only 10% of how long you'll have been alive... and at that point in your life, you'll believe you could do four years standing on one foot. Relax. Life, for you, at this point in it, is long. Four years, believe it or not, is short. It's nothing. There'll be PLENTY of time for having a better life after you're done. Buckle down. Study hard. This, too, shall pass. Hope that helps.
UK or Canada for a better quality of life?
Hi, I am planning on going to university next year, to do my under-graduate degree, either to the UK or Canada. I plan on settling there after graduation. I plan on going to London or other major cities in the UK (eg:Birmingham or Manchester). In canada most probably Toronto or Vancouver. I was in UK and Canada few months back, I loved Canada. UK on the other hand was alright, I found it to congested with not much to do. I am a person who likes going out a lot, and enjoying the natural scenary. UK dint offer much of that. Though I know so many people in the UK, and it will feel like home, though in Canada I do not know much people. Which country do you all advice. for a better quaility of life and education? Replies will be greatly appreciated.
Can people who graduated from community college have a better life than people who graduated from universities like UCLA, USC, NYU, etc.?
Absolutely. If Bill Gates can drop out as a freshman and go on to become the richest man on Earth, why not?My representative in Congress has an associates degree, was a police officer, rose to police chief, helped catch a serial killer, and was elected to a safe Republican seat. Not a bad life. (He's completely ineffective in Congress, but he's been reelected four times. Go figure)
Do you feel life is better During college or after you graduated? Why?
It will always resemble you graduated high school and after you graduate it resembles you graduated again. It is a good feeling to graduate and have that diploma. Amazing.

How much of an advantage in life is it to graduate from an elite university?
It’s a huge advantage for those living in nations where the top universities are considered world famous.There are a number of reasons why this is (and note that this also means that this is a huge drawback for those that graduated from less famous schools).The first and biggest is that there are many employers that do not hire from less famous schools. They will only hire from a handful of famous schools, typically the schools that the senior management of that company graduated from.That means that those from famous universities often have a big advantage in terms of the prestige of the companies they work for and the starting salaries.Not only is this going to leave a gap in starting pay, but this could affect career earnings.https://www.washingtonpost.com/n...What this means is that your probabilities of getting a good paying career are much higher with the prestigious schools.You also have access to a pretty impressive alumni network. So many graduates from a school that is famous are going to be in senior corporate positions, hiring manager positions, and are happy to give advice to their own alma matter, advice that they may be a lot more reluctant to give to someone else.This means that you can network with much greater results. It makes it easier to find new opportunities and to get promoted. When people hire, they may see a younger version of themselves, which they don’t see in people outside.Your kids too will have advantages. Legacy admissions are a thing, especially if you are likely to give lots of money to the university endowment.Connections to University can affect admissions decisionParents feel immense pressure these days to get their kids to famous universities because of these advantages.In conclusion, it is a huge advantage.Actually, it may be very bad for society as a whole. What will happen is that society will see declining social mobility. There will be an entrenched class on top, the upper middle class and they will have made it improbable for someone from the bottom 20% to move upward.How the Upper Middle Class Has Risen Even HigherThe 9.9 Percent Is the New American AristocracyI recommend the books Dream Hoarders by Richard V. Reeves and Listen Liberal by Thomas Frank.
Did you like college or graduate school better?
I like college as well as my graduate school.Both the places had led me a successful life.But college life was better because i had a beautiful memories in my college.I got a couple of good friends, lecturers who taught me how to lead a happy life. The friends are the one who is beside me all the time, with whom i shared all my feelings, who was supportive, encouraged me in whatever good i do, who was helpful when i had difficult times, who was there to correct me whenever i go wrong. I have learnt the value of education, life principle, confidence, happiness.
Does the life of a medical student ever get better?
Well, the context of the question is important, as is the program - North America, EU, India, etc etc. And what you mean by ‘get better’ is also value based and entirely subjective. Is it the hours of studying that’s getting to you? That becomes a luxury, when you enter into your clinical years, and you’re up all night taking care of patients with no time to read but the expectation to find some since you don’t know the direction to put your stethoscope in your ears or how to swing a reflect hammer. Or maybe getting the piece of paper that says your a ‘doctor’ and move into your internship, where now you’re actually garnering responsibility for the lives of your patients on service, have even less time, and more to do? Or further into your residency where your specialization really requires more time to find understanding both clinical pathophysiology and more sophisticated basic biology and/or technique. Or perhaps it’s when you become an attending, where you are ultimately responsible for the patient, their care, and the inherent administrative tasks required to document what, why, how and wherefore your clinical plan is justified and in place.These are of course, the challenges that ANY profession faces on what it takes to advance. It’s all about perspective. If you’re truly a medical student, and you have time to be on Quora, you certainly have time to gain some perspective on the study of medicine and how the lives of your future patients will be impacted. Good luck.
