>> I heard one parent say the further away the 4 year is from the JUCO, the more likely there is to be a class credit problem.
That seems to be the way it is in our area, as the local 4-year college has a close working relationship with the local junior college and has pre-approved a range of classes that will readily transfer over. Students that transfer from junior colleges that do not have this relationship might have some troubles with the four-year college with regard to what classes are deemed equivalent.
