I feel betrayed by my community college and university after transferring.

I have been stewing on this for a while but I haven't really had anyone to talk to that has been through a similar situation but every time I think about it I get frustrated in a way that I never have before to the point where it just ruins my whole day because I can't focus on anything else. I transferred to a university this fall after earning my associate of science degree from a cc and I had a feeling it would be rough transferring into chemical and bio molecular engineering but it was so much worse than expected.

I have had my fair share of advisor incompetence (not informing me about placement tests, telling me I'm taking the wrong classes that they recommended, saying I'm one credit short of graduating a month before the ceremony, etc.) and I know that the blame is also on me for not doing research and advisors have hundreds if not thousands of students; but at a certain point it feels as if some of the advice given to me by both advisors and in writing is actively trying to screw me and squeeze as much time and money out of me as possible. I have no joke had my transfer advisor tell me in writing that she doesn't know how my university (UNL, which is the most populated and transferred to university in my town by far btw) will accept my credits and that my university advisor will go over that with me, like what is the purpose of your job if not that??

Talking to my university advisor he tells me that it'll take me an extra year to graduate which is fine and what I was expecting since many classes are prerequisites of each other. When I start my first week I quickly realize that one of the classes I was in heavily built off of engineering classes taught in the first year (professor said that the material we we're going over was review that we should know) and I didn't even meet the prerequisites for the course and after talking to my advisor he transferred me out and swapped the class with my one remaining elective of history. After this everything was relatively smooth sailing (with the exception of feeling left out of already formed groups from the previous year and classes that were way too easy that repeating stuff I learned over a year ago such as my intro classes and history, mixed with ones that are challenging and move at ten times the pace as the easy ones like ochem and calc 2). That was until I was exploring the university website and discovered my degree audit (don't know why I had to stumble upon it myself) and discovered that out of the 59 credits that transferred to the university only 22 of them were applicable to my degree, that's even including my electives! There are 37 credits just sitting in limbo only contributing to my status as a junior (which also makes me feel even more behind). I scheduled a meeting just because my mom thought there might've been some sort of mistake even though I and with my advisors confirmation knew there wasn't. I just don't get why he didn't tell me sooner since there's no we he couldn't have seen that (he also switched up and said that I would be graduating 2 years later now). It's also not like my cc advisors didn't know either and even though I couldn't have really done anything different at my cc, they could've had the decency to at least tell me that they didn't offer the correct prerequisites and save me a year of wasted time.

My university program also stated that I wouldn't have a standard curriculum compared to non transfer students but here I am following a rubric exactly because there is quite literally no other path with how the requisites build off of each other. I am graduating a year later than the class that graduated a year after me despite having doing nothing wrong as per the most fitting program available for engineering. There are other little things as well such as professors referring to material covered last year or people who have already done internships or have co-ops lined up. Every time I ask for advice on how to apply for internships or how to try to make myself less behind by trying to skip certain non required (in terms of requisites) classes, they act like I'm speaking a foreign language and have never met a transfer student before.

Sorry for such a long (and probably boring) rant but I could use some advice from other transfer students on what to do especially regarding internships. I also want to reiterate that I know I should've researched more and everyone talks about how advisors don't always give good advice but I want to make sure I'm not being led astray for the gazillionth time; I actually really liked my community college classes and teachers way more than university and I feel as if they not only teach better but are also much more passionate about their jobs. I also know I'm not technically behind and I don't mean to sound whiny because people absolutely have it worse than me but I want my two years back.

Thanks for listening

TLDR: Transferring to a university after a community college didn't save me any money and 37 credits don't count towards my degree, setting me back two years.
