[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Yeah, my kid likely would not have graduated college in 4 years had he done CC. He needed to be immersed in the college experience. He did graduate in 4 years with a less than stellar GPA. Is that better than going to CC and then never finishing? I think a student has to be very disciplined to do the 2 plus 2 route with community college (and not care as much about social life). [/quote] I think we are talking about kids who do have the discipline. Perhaps, they were "late bloomers" who are quite bright, but skated on the grades. My DS absolutely would not have agreed to CC. We could afford in-state tuition and he also graduated in four years--with less than stellar gpa from a second tier Virginia school. However, he loved it and benefited from the experience. He has been employed since graduation and does just fine.[/quote]
