[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, would still send to a four year college. The odds of a less motivated person making it through college are higher there than a community college.

CCs are good for motivated students who don't have much money, or a very specific career goal. [/quote]

+1 At a 4-year there is more of a culture to keep you on track and good investment in academic supports. It's just too easy for a CC student to get distracted by life outside of college and not fully engage. My brother's kids are both doing the CC track. One has been investing too much time in work to the detriment of his classes and has taken longer than expected but is finally transferring. The other is taking classes but seems pretty aimless and not involved in anything on campus, seems pretty isolated. Finances were definitely a factor for them but also the younger had a lot of anxiety about leaving home so he didn't even apply to any 4-yrs.

I'd encourage Mason and live on campus. And if he hasn't been assessed for learning disabilities, at least rule that out. [/quote]
