[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a fine path, OP!

I teach at a CC. My advice to you and your daughter is to make SURE her advisor and her professors are aware that she intends to transfer to a 4-year school in time. There are students with all kinds of goals and ambitions and life circumstances at CC, and some will make it and some are disillusioned, so the ones who are are 4-year-school-bound can get lost in the fray if they aren't vocal about it and/or stand out in class via participation and grades. Many of the professors will also adjunct at nearby colleges/universities: they can be a good resource for connections and recommendations, and possibly internships.

Make sure she has a study-situation in place that is different from high school. Encourage her to use the library at her CC. Is she getting an apartment? Is she hoping to intern or work? If so, have her connect with school resources to see if they can help her find something remotely applicable to her goals.

She will do fine, and she/you will have much less debt for it. [/quote]
Another CC lecturer.  Would agree with this.
Would also add that if your CC offers a study skills class I highly recommend your child take it in her first semester.  [/quote]

This.  I would be great if all CCs had a mandatory study skills class for their degree seeking students especially.  College is different than HS.[/quote]
