This is my first post ever about CC. I did it because my husband is head of the engineering program at local CC and I can see first hand that many of his students are getting better instruction that those in into classes at the big state university. In fact, the university doesn't like to admit to it but some students come to the CC for certain classes (transferable) because CC offers much more up to date engineering software.

How are you seeing that “first hand”? How much time are you spending in your DH’s classes and in the classes at the university?

Assuming the CC-supporting poster is being sincere and candid: Just the mere fact that the poster likes the community college DH teaches it is probably a sign that the faculty there is reasonably happy. The spouses of the faculty members at bad community colleges are probably not going to come here to post about how great those colleges are.

Or PP is clueless and just promoting CC because her DH works there.

"CC offer much more up to date engineering software"? BS
