I am sure number 11 is nova cc.[/quote]

The first 60 credits at NOVA are worth the same as anywhere else….at a fraction of the cost. [/quote]

That is one opinion.  I personally would prefer our nuclear sub operators get those first 60 credits  at annapolis but to each his or her own.[/quote]

Naval academy is phenomenal school. Not everyone can get in. For those that can, they do. For those that don’t, they do the best they can with what they got. There is many ways to the same destination. That’s the point. [/quote]

I agree completely.  My comments were directed ta the poster that seems to feel that a credit is a credit regadrless of where it is taken or who is doing the instrutuction.  The "school sucks" poster.

Community college is great but it is not a good match for many students and to imply that the instruction is equivalent to every other institution is ludicris.[/quote]

I am the same poster. We agree that the better school, if feasible, is the way to go.

The naval academy is highly selective. I respect the naval academy more than the Ivys (MIT is a different story though).

The vast majority of kids will never reach that level. So for them, maybe its better to take electives at a cheaper cost and get their grades up and transfer into a more selective school….or use the saving for grad school which will trump the name of the undergrad school. [/quote]
