Should I put my community college in my resume?

I transferred from community college to Brown University last semester. Worked my ass off and was super involved. Should I put it in or just put Brown?

Also I’ll only be at Brown for two and a half years, should I just put my expected graduation date rather than beginning and end?

Was in a similar spot and was advised to leave off and just focus on building resume post-uni. Served me well as I grinded during those 2.5 yrs and at a top bank in T1 city now.

In hindsight, don’t think this job / industry is necessarily for me, but went through all the motions nonetheless; looking back, wonder how things would’ve shook out had I owned and took pride in my journey rather than hide it and pretend it never happened… food for thought, but congrats on making it to Brown!
