Ok, this may seem like a silly question, but it's one that has been weighing on my mind lately.
I started off my undergrad at a community college. I did two years (and all of my gen. ed. stuff) there. This fall I will be transferring to a four-year school (EMU). However... I have decided that ideally I want to attend a different university (U of M). The application deadline is well passed for U of M, so I would have to do one semester at EMU and then transfer. Is it too much? I'm sure it would end up being a question of whether I transferred for the right reasons, which would be because I felt U of M would give me a better, more competitive education.
Or does any of it matter? How much does what school you get your undergrad at even count, as long as you do well?
There are other reasons for switching to U of M, such as school reputation, campus safety, etc.
Thanks for any advice you can offer! I'm so confused
