[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Personally, I'd push the 4 year route.  They will feel "less than" if they go CC and everyone else goes 4 year. (Not true, but they may feel this way.). It's also not the college experience.  It's a lot like high school.  I also think they will get better supports at one of thee 4 year schools you mentioned.  If they do well, they can always transfer to another, more rigorous school if that's what they want (but thy may love it there and that's good, too).

My kid is a late bloomer and went to a school folks disparage on here.  After a year, has applied to transfer and has gotten into schools folks here really respect (T25-50). Kid went to college and took it very seriously, working their tail off and it paid off.  They are smart, just a bit of a late bloomer.[/quote]
Your kid might as well have gone to cc, then.

FWIW, my kid is also a late bloomer, and I am not sure how well they will be able to take care of themselves if they went away to college.[/quote]
