University vs. community college

When you say better, what are you referring to? The financial or learning aspects? Prerequisites at the university level are not like community college classes. For example, at a university, the classes are large, sometimes you will have up to 70 students in a class and the professors tend to not help much if you are not understanding the material. Whereas at a community college, the classes are a lot smaller and professors will help you more if you are not grasping the material.

You can take your prereqs anywhere! Most do it at a cc cause it's cheaper. if you were already at a Uni straight out from hs I guess you can do the prereqs at the Uni if you want to.

sometimes a program will give priority of their own internal freshman students who did prereqs at the school itself. in that case doing the prereqs since freshman year at the Uni may be beneficial.

Good day, sweathered:

I'm dual enrolled with a local community college and a university; I get my associate in nursing science (not just the prerequisites) at the community college saving a large amount of money, and have a good number of credits put into the BSN program (estimated time to completion after AD and NCLEX is 12 to 18 months). In addition, the community college I go to tends to have smaller class sizes for far more personal attention.

Thank you.

I think it really depends what you're looking for. Community college classes are historically smaller, less expensive, and slightly easier. Where as university classes have a larger class size, more expensive, but usually are regarded as being more difficult. I think whichever option you choose will work well as long as you apply yourself.
