[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know why more people aren't taking advantage of Community College for the first 2 years and then transferring especially since there is a solid pipeline to great 4 year schools if you keep your grades up in CC[/quote] Because most people in CC get sidetracked by other life stuff - jobs, out-of-wedlock kids, poverty, sickness, etc. And, frankly, many of the CC cohorts are problematic. If you're a smart kid who is focused on going to a good school, CC's don't have a great track record of actually getting kids graduating from a 4 year program (let alone an elite school): "Of the 33 percent of community college students who transfer to four-year colleges, 42 percent complete a bachelor's degree within six years." https://ccrc.tc.columbia.edu/Community-College-FAQs.html That is a terrible statistic. So, basically, only 14% of students who start community college actually end up with a 4-year degree. [/quote]
