[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD loves this show and I usually end up watching with her.

What I don't understand is... why do these kids not leave? They seem to stick around year after year just to get the rings.  I obviously understand why Jerry didn't leave, yikes, but prior to him being busted, he had a scholarship offer from the University of Louisville. A few others in the first episode of season 2 said they decided to come back after being asked for their 3rd & 4th year.

[b]Third... and FOURTH years at a community college?! Doesn't the CC, at some point, have some obligation to help these people transition to the next phase in their academic careers? [/b]  Will NVCC allow you to just languish there year after year as long as they are getting their $$ from you?  [/quote]

FWIW, I went to community college and got an associates degree. I graduated five years after I graduated from high school. I wasn't a cheerleader (I don't even know if they had any sports at that college?) but I went to college part time. At first I worked two part time jobs and went to school part time, then I worked full time and went to school part time, then worked a full time job and a part time job and went to school part time. The largest class load I ever took was three classes in one semester, and it nearly killed me. To say I am not book smart is a vast understatement. If you haven't graduated yet and maintain your grades, why wouldn't the college let you be a part of a sports team? I don't think the CC has an obligation to "help these people transition to the next phase in their academic careers" because for some people, this is the LAST phase of their academic careers. I will never go to college again. I knew that back then. It's 22 years since I graduated and my stance has never changed. [/quote]
