[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]After 2 years, most community college students end up transferring to a university, with many of them transferring to flagships, and are in just as good as, if not better, standing than most of their peers from high school who went straight to university.[/quote]

I don’t think there’s any stigma for students who are other ge a four-year degree or who simply seem bright.

But I think the concern is that, for people who like their four-year college, the time when the most fun happens and the deepest connections form tends to be in the freshman dorm. For someone with a non-technical major who has a good experience, maybe living in the dorm freshman year is more important than the classes. So, people who had a great time in their freshman dorm feel bad for people who didn’t get to have a similar experience.

But living in a great dorm doesn’t necessarily lead to worldly success, and plenty of people who live in dorms hate the experience. Many students live at home, start out at community college and go on to have great lives. Whatever works for a particular student is great for that student. Other people might just have a hard time relating. [/quote]
