[quote=Anonymous]Don’t do it unless you have to. The odds are against you child making it, something like 15-30% end up with a 4 year degree after enrolling to community college. Most take longer than 4 years to get a degree. It’s easy to lose motivation and end up wandering aimlessly. If transferring to a regular college you might need time to adapt to the rigor level which is definitely above community college classes. Some majors that are in demand may be difficult to transfer into. Going to community college you’re taking a lot of risk for saving some tuition money, which over two years amounts to $30-40k compared to in state. You’re also missing many other opportunities like research, being part of organizations on campus, relationships with potential employers for internships etc. There’s no significant benefit in going to community college if you already got into a state college.[/quote]
