[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just don't understand the people who keep posting about community colleges.  The OP asked specifically that you not do that. If you want to start a thread on the benefits of community colleges, go right ahead.[/quote]

The point is it can be a path to a much better college than the 4 year options one might have out of high school with a low GPA.[/quote]

So is another 4 year college. The child does not want to go to a CC. [/quote]

Don't not push them in the CC option.  My DS has a 3.0 after climbing up from the low 2.0s.  If we tried to discourage him from going to a 4 year and instead pursue a 2-year program, I think he would not have been motivated to work hard to get to a 3.0.  He has already received college acceptances and is waiting to hear from his top two picks.  He will need to work hard and may struggle a bit, but I want to give him the opportunity to succeed rather than assuming he won't or isn't cut out for it.  Don't crush your child's spirit.  Choose 4-year colleges that offer good academic support if he needs it. [/quote]

Doing well in community college usually guarantees admission to state flagships which is probably a better situation than doing well in an open admission school[/quote]
