No. There is not support at community college. Yes, some but just like regular colleges the student has to seek out. There is nothing special about sending struggling kids to CC. I don't know why people always say this. I was an academic advisor at one and it is a very independent, often lonely experience as most kids there are in/out for classes or in/ out for one or two semesters. There can be a sense of community but ironically it is the highly successful kids who were that way in HS already.

CC are great for are strong academic students, highly motivated students who want to save money  and/ or would-be strong students who matured later and now understand the importance of studying harder and getting good grades.

You have to self- manage even more in a CC! Colleges with services like Muskingum, West Virgina Weseleyan, Curry, etc. they build the supports in and you are monitored. You are not monitored at a CC. Additionally, You may not have a peer group at a CC to motivate you and make you want to at least do well enough to stay or stay on the sports team, etc.

I have a similar DC so have done a lot of research and having worked at a CC, I Offer these as my opinions only and not to offend anyone. Best of luck.[/quote]
