> Running start credits, being based on community college credits, don't even transfer cleanly to state schools. When I did running start, this was the cautious advice.

My understanding is that there are been a number of reforms to WA community colleges that mean that a larger portion of community college credits transfer to public universities now. Of course, going out of state is a roll of the dice as always.

> Transfer credits had very little to do with it - it was just a more fulfilling curriculum.

Very true. I loved taking Microbiology as a HS student. Def something I wouldn't have gotten the chance to do normally. And CC offers far more advanced math than HS.
