[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why you would send your kid to a crappy CC on a 400k HHI instead of giving them the full college experience is crazy to me.

PP above is correct.  The academic peers are totally different.[/quote]

[b]Would that college experience include underage drinking, hazing, and partying? What else is there? Oh there is living in shitty dorms and sharing bathrooms with filthy roommates.[/b]

Not every kid is looking forward to that.

You send them to "great" schools to hang out with other children whose parents could afford to send their children  to "great" schools. There is a lot of value in that, no doubt.

Otherwise, a good student is a good student. [/quote]

A ton. Internships ([b]many companies won’t hire interns who go to cc[/b]), Greek life, club sports, living independently, learning to deal with roommates, getting away from your helicopter parents, late night adventures…[/quote]

Many companies will hire interns who went to CC. My kids went to CC and had no problems getting internships and jobs at top fortune 500 companies. But I have to admit, not every kid will be successful taking that path. Only the smart kids will succeed. If your kids aren't smart enough, take a different path.[/quote]
