[quote=Anonymous]Hi folks, I tutor a young person who is graduating from a DC high school this year and who may end up choosing between Montgomery College and UDC Community College.  I am under the impression that Montgomery College is a better school compared to UDC and that it's worth it for her to make the commute to MoCo and to use DC TAG to cover her out-of-state costs.  She is eligible for a Pell Grant so the bulk of her tuition at either place is covered for now.

However, she struggles with school and will need extra academic help and support.  I've heard stories about community colleges putting students like her in remedial classes that don't count towards a degree, so I'm also concerned that she not find herself in a pattern where she never moves forward out of remedial classes and on to a degree.

So I'm looking for advice.  Am I correct in thinking that Montgomery College would be a better choice than UDC?  Or not? Does anyone have experience working with a student like this at either one of these schools?  She's a good kid and I want to help her be as successful as possible.  Thanks for your thoughts on this.
