Can I leave off college I attended for 1 year before transferring to another school?
I attended a good private school for high school, but I made terrible grades and had to go to Crappy College my freshman year before transferring to Semi-Target for the remaining three years of undergrad. Is it misleading to include my high school and Semi-Target while leaving off Crappy College (which I obviously attended after high school)?
Edit: I just found out it's actually a target; I thought I'd update this so that I wouldn't be lumped in with the losers at semi-targets.
If the classes transferred to the new college I don't see an issue. Just put you're at XXXX college.

I transferred schools. Nobody will find out if you don't want them to. If you transferred to a better school though, I think it might be beneficial to tell them. It speaks to your work ethic post-high school.
I put it on my resume, but for the OPs question, I think they'd find out once they check your transcripts, since your transcripts would generally list the school you transferred from.
my understanding is that they usually don't actually. Mine didn't, and I transferred after sophomore year. The school basically said "your degree's from here, so your transcripts will only show us."
List your new school and GPA and just list the old school no GPA. Also explain why you left.
Nothing to it.
I disagree - I wouldn't put it. It's going to be some HR person checking the transcripts anyway and they will likely be smart enough to figure it out and see you graduated / are attending your new school. Sure, it can shine a positive light on you in that you worked hard to transfer, etc. but in my mind it's a distracting topic that makes them second guess you.
Only list the school you're getting a degree from
Take off your high school it's absolutely irrelevant and I'd put all 4 years at the university you graduated from.
Eh, my high school is kind of a big deal. I'm just going to put my high school and the college from which I graduated.
It makes you sound like the old dude in the office who keeps talking about his college football glory days. Unless you went to super elite high school and so did the interviewer I really doubt it matters.
No it's not. It's irrelevant.
