[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Below T100. Or community college.

Honestly, with the cost college these days, even to T100 below, [b]I'm thinking my solid B student DC go the community college route.[/b] [/quote]

Mistake! C student, sure. B student? No way. [/quote]
why not? College costs are stupidly high.  I am not paying up the nose for a T100 and below college.  I'm not even sure I want to for a t75 below.[/quote]

You are paying too much attention to rankings--the educational quality and career outcomes don't differ that much--rankings make you think there are meaningful differences when there are not.  It's the student and the major more than the institution.  [/quote]

I know. PP had really fallen for the USNWR hype.

College is for your child, not what others think about how prestigious others think their education was. [/quote]
college is for my child in order to get a good paying job.  Why would I spend $320K+ on a subpar college education to get a job that tops out at $75K/yr. That's a terrible ROI.

There's nothing wrong with 2 yrs at community college,, then transfer to a good college, especially for those who aren't sure what they want to major in.[/quote]

Why don't you look at actual ROI?  These "subpar" colleges often have very similar career outcomes to good ones. And can cost quite a bit less with merit aid. There's nothing wrong with community college, but it has its downfalls and there's a pretty good chance your B student is not going to get into what you see as a "good" college because it's a hard path to meet the transfer requirements and they didn't yet excel in high school.  You seem kind of pigheaded and certain in your beliefs without digging into the actual data.[/quote]
