[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Community College does not offer the same quality of education as a well respected 4 year institution.  If your goal is just to get a degree that is fine, but don’t kid yourself that a student is learning critical thinking or leadership skills.  Both my MIL and aunt teach at different community colleges and it is a very different student body.  Community College fills an extreme important niche, but don’t kid yourself on the quality of education.[/quote]
MC or NVCC?  
I don’t think this post is accurate [/quote]

Probably not PC thing to say but I have to agree. There is no free meals in education.[/quote]

Honestly I think the education you get at a community college for the courses offered are just as good as you would get at most 4 year institutions.  The student body will be significantly different, but the courses taught will be similar.[/quote]

Classes are frequently smaller at our community college.  Freshman English at community college--40 students, Freshman English at our Division I college 300 students or more.
Professors are much more reachable/accessible at our community college.  Professors at our Division I college in town (50,000 undergrad students) can be kind
of remote.  Each year 1/3 of our community college students transfers to the 4 year college in town, the best 4 year college in our state.

The students that started at community college and transfer get the exact diploma that 4 year college students get upon graduation.[/quote]
