[quote=Anonymous][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]

It is an option for academic failures in today's world PP.  I know you did this in the 80s and I applaud you, but its not the same. CC kids are flunking out of CC all over California. A very tiny minority are getting into the UC[/quote]

Do you have the data to back that up?

Info published by University of California supports a continuing history of CC students successfully transfering to UC schools.  I'm not suggesting that the majority of CC students go on to UC, but if you are a high school senior that is otherwise a good candidate for UC, but you'd like to save $, I don't see anything suggesting that you shouldn't do it.  Not in the 80s and not now.
