[quote=Anonymous]While I can't comment on NOVA, I can comment on another community college.  My nephew and his group of 5 friends all went the community college route and then transferred to either U of Md College Park, Towson or Univ of Balt. and they all have done real well, coming out with great jobs.  They all stay focused and still graduated within 4 years.  And they lived in an apartment together during the entire 4 years together so some commuted to school.  It can be done but you have to have a focused child and be proactive to know what will transfer and what won't.  I'll admit none of them did engineering or pre med or pre law or accounting but the world is made up of other professions.  One works at a top DC real estate management company, one at a defense contractor, one for Coca-Cola, one at a hospital (non-medical job) and other at NASA.  They are under 30 and all have their own homes, newish cars, maybe even a kid and wife.  But they kept each other motivated and on the task at hand.  They could have gone straight to a 4 year school but cost was an issue.

So don't dismiss community college.  It works for some.  I think that if you want to be a nurse, then community college is the way to go and probably some other professions.[/quote]
