[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Montgomery College was a very real choice for my magnet HS MCPS student. The reasons were the quality of instruction, the small class sizes, convenience (location), cost.  The reason my student did not go the MC was because of full merit scholarship in first choice school.

I think CC is an excellent route for ANY student.  [/quote]

I totally agree with this post, but maybe I'm biased given that I, on occasion, adjunct at MC.   I'm a high school teacher with a PhD in my field, and I have found the curricula I've taught at MC to be extremely well-designed and challenging (I don't design the courses I teach- they're department-designed).   The student body is diverse, many of the students pay their own way, so they are very invested in their education and take it seriously.   The cost is amazingly cheap when compared to 4-year schools, and if a student does well at MC, she can certainly do whatever she wants from there.  To me, this is a no-brainer.  My own children are young, but when they are of college age, I will most certainly explore this option for them as well.  [/quote]
