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

I’ll add a cerebral academic environment, access to professors, majority equivalent academic peers, a very diverse array of courses to choose from to build a good underlying humanities base to name a few.

I feel sorry that PP kids got deprived of such.  [b]College is the best 4 years of your life and for many it’s true.[/b]

If you want to grind away at CC and then grind away the last 2 years to make up for lost credits that’s your choice.  No way I’m sending my high performing kid to CC when I have options.[/quote]

If the best years of your life were in college, your life must have gone downhill since college and this is sad. The best years of your life should be now.[/quote]
