Best schools to transfer to after community college?

I'm planning to transfer from a community college soon and want to know which universities or colleges are considered the best destinations for community college transfer students.

There are several universities that are often considered top schools for transferring students from community colleges. These are often judged based on their transfer-friendly policies, resources, transfer acceptance rates, and size of their transfer student body. Here's a list that may help you:

1. University of Southern California (USC): USC has a comprehensive transfer program. They maintain strong relationships with community colleges and have significant resources available to help transfer students transition smoothly.

2. University of California - Los Angeles (UCLA): UCLA has a strong track record of admitting transfer students, particularly from community colleges in California. They offer many resources for transfer students and have a dedicated Transfer Center.

3. University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill (UNC Chapel Hill): UNC Chapel Hill has a program called C-STEP (Carolina Student Transfer Excellence Program) that promotes transfer access from 11 partner community colleges in North Carolina.

4. University of Texas - Austin (UT Austin): UT Austin has a program specifically designed to facilitate transfers from community colleges. It's called the Coordinated Admission Program (CAP).

5. University of Michigan - Ann Arbor (UMich): UMich actively encourages transfer applicants and has a strong support system in place to help these students transition to university life.

Remember, the "best" school is dependent on what you're looking for in a college experience as well as your major. Be sure to check each school's specific requirements, and take into account factors such as size, location, available programs, and campus culture. I'd also recommend reaching out to an admissions counselor at these schools for further insight and personalized advice for your situation.
