Delgado/Sinclair/Houston Community Colleges

Discussion

Hello, Im an international student from the middle east planning on studying in the US for Fall 26. I am gonna attend a community college for how affordable/cheaper it is compared to 4 year universities, and then transfer to a 4 year university 2 years later to complete my Bachelor’s. my Top 3 picks are the following cc’s for the following reasons

  1. Delgado CC: pretty affordable tuition for int’s and since LSU is one of my dream universities. I heard i can smoothly transfer from delgado to LSU (please correct me if Im wrong or suggest better community colleges to transfer to LSU after two years)

  2. Sinclair CC: Also pretty affordable and I’ve heard they have strong programs for international students and they do welcome them, pretty nice atmosphere (according to others reddits) and the list goes on

  3. Houston CC: Again, a very affordable tuition, Pretty big student count for a community college which can kind of give you the college life experience for the first two years until u transfer. and finally have a pretty smooth transfer program to Houston University.

Please let me know if y’all suggest anything better.

P.S. is it true that if you transfer from a community college to a 4 year university you get lower tuition than if you join s 4 years university as a freshman?
