[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Community college for the first two years and a part-time job? So you can see how he handles the workload before committing, and if he does well in community college he can transfer to a good state school and finish the degree there.[/quote] (Not OP) I would sort of like to do this but my kid goes to a Big 3 and no one goes to CC. It just isn't done. He wouldst be humiliated (as would I)[/quote] My son is at a Big 3, too, and I know just how you feel. How noticeable would it be if he took a gap year? There have been years at St Albans where I noticed boys taking a year to pursue music or some other interest before attending. There's no longer a list of where each boy is matriculating. I would encourage the CC route. Each year, I hear about a few Big 3 alum, who burnt out and dropped out of college by the end of sophomore year. [/quote]
