[quote=Anonymous]Your son sounds very wise. Please reconsider your bias against community college. I have two daughters, both intellectually gifted. Oldest daughter went o a private four year college. Her first year she dealt with a suicidal roommate who was in and out of an in-patient hospital (parents were not informed, leaving my daughter to deal with it). She spent two years pursuing a major she hated and then made changed during her junior year. Academic advising was non-existent. Career counseling was limited to job postings.  She has a college degree, but no idea what she wants to do with her life so she is working odd jobs.

Youngest daughter went to community college to get her Associates Degree. She got all of her basic requirements out of the way, Instead of 200-500 students in introductory lectures, she received personalized instruction in small classes with teachers who cared and gave constructive and constructive feedback. Educational experience was far better than what her sister received. She is now in a four-year program with a much clearer idea of what she wants out of her education than her sister did. Plus, we saved a ton of money.
