Premed courses in community college?

[sayamd]

Hello everyone!
I cannot finish all my premed courses during my undergrad..
I'm planning to take Ochem part 2 somewhere else.

I have 2 choices. A. take it in a local 4 year uni or 2 year college( way cheaper).
Which one is better?

Also my friend suggested that 2 year college might not make much difference since adcoms cannot tell if it's 2 year or 4 year just from the college name.

Do a search you stupid newbie. I'm sick and tired of seeing this same damn question all the time.

Seriously though, the general answers I usually read to this question is that it looks better to take the course at a 4 year school rather than a 2 year school or a community college. The schools you apply to will assume that you went to the 2 year school or community college to get a better grade.

If you do decide to take it at a community college, make sure you get an A.

the name of the community college is called "College of the something something". How can you even tell if it's a 2 year college?

Have you already started at a university? If not, I took Gen Chem I and II and Bio I with all of my math requirements at a community college and transferred to a university to finish my pre-reqs. I think it's more then fine to do some of your courses at a community college but that it's good to take a number of them at a university as well to show medical schools that you can handle the rigors of such coursework in that setting. Hope this helps.
