[quote=Anonymous]My DD did this, kind of. She started at a small liberal arts college that we both thought she'd like, particularly because she has learning disabilities. The school had much smaller classes than larger universities and fairly easy access to disability services.

Turned out she hated the school, from the professors (whom she felt weren't helpful) to the culture (too preppy, too Southern). She dropped out and went to community college after freshman year. But some of her credits didn't transfer and there was a whole new set of gen ed requirements.

But she liked community college much better and felt like the professors were more amenable to giving extra help. I only wish she had started out there since it took three semesters to be able to transfer to a state four-year college as a junior. She's done well there, but between starting two years after most of the students and remote classes because of the pandemic, she hasn't gotten to know other students well or really had an on-campus experience. But she says she's OK with that and we're both excited she's graduating next month![/quote]
