[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]

I understand completely, OP. My daughter went to a run of the mill public school and even *we* didn't want her to go the community college route. We are paying for it now indeed! She's at an OOS college and we're paying $20k a year out of pocket (not including $8k in student loans). No assistance from the school. It's tough as hell and we're contemplating an in-state move for her next year.

But I sympathize with not going the community college route. You have to know your child to know if they would be able to handle that sort of set-back well. My daughter is not, so we had to bite the bullet. [/quote]
