[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] 1) 2 years of community college (because it can be paid in cash or Pell Grants will cover most or all of it) and then transfer to a 4 year institution. [/quote] So many people casually point to a community college (and even the local commuter university) as if they're free — inc. the boys' step-father. If you're not Pell Grant eligible a community college is around $5,000/year in tuition; a commuter university is $12,000/year — and that's assuming the child lives at home and the parents continue to pay for housing, food, car, insurance, etc. Sure it's possible, in theory, to work your way through those tuition payments, but what are the odds a teen working a minimum wage to pay the $5,000-$12,000/year will ever finish their studies? The completion rates at these institutions are tragically low even when students are getting full aid to cover all expenses. You're just so behind the eight ball if you don't finish high school college ready.[/quote]
