[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Personally, I'd push the 4 year route.  They will feel "less than" if they go CC and everyone else goes 4 year. (Not true, but they may feel this way.). It's also not the college experience.  It's a lot like high school.  I also think they will get better supports at one of thee 4 year schools you mentioned.  If they do well, they can always transfer to another, more rigorous school if that's what they want (but thy may love it there and that's good, too).

My kid is a late bloomer and went to a school folks disparage on here.  After a year, has applied to transfer and has gotten into schools folks here really respect (T25-50). Kid went to college and took it very seriously, working their tail off and it paid off.  They are smart, just a bit of a late bloomer.[/quote]

We feel the same, we're worried about self-esteem. We're transplants to our county and everyone else has a weird fascination with the local CC. Kid's post about it on their IG pages which we find odd, but again CC's have their place and purpose. We don't think the local CC will have enough supports in place. We also think being around more motivated/ driven students will help. We would classify our kiddo as a late bloomer or lacking maturity, so this is helpful.[/quote]
