[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People are so, soooo dumb.

Draining their entire life savings to pay for college.

Morons.

Send your damn kid to the community college for 2 years then transfer to a state school with living from home arrangements for the last 2 years.

You idiots wipe out your entire savings so your stupid kids can have the 'college experience' and get the same damn basic education your state and community colleges offer. A BS degree matters so sooooooooo little over the longrun.  Just get the cheapest one possible. I can't believe there are still millions of really stupid people out there willing to pay over $100k for a useless BS degree.  [/quote]

Community college is for academic failures to gain a 2nd chance. Kids will good grades are already getting into the state colleges first time round.[/quote]

NP— absolutely wrong.  I graduated in top 5% of my class and scored in top 5% of SAT, but would have needed to take out loans to attend college so instead I attended community college as I could easily work part time to pay for school while living at home.

After getting AA degree I started 3rd year of college at UC Berkeley.  This was common in California in the 80s and seems common still.  [/quote]

Fewer than 40% of community college students earn a degree or a certificate within 6 years of enrolling

They are a great thing and should be supported, but they are not a panacea [/quote]
