[quote=Anonymous][quote]A CC is probably better for him. If he's lazy, at least you'll be able to keep an eye on him at home. Going off to a mediocre state school is risky unless you are highly-motivated and stay out of trouble. Limited staffing makes it easy to flunk out, or fall through the cracks, in a place like that.[/quote] One of my kids goes to what DCUM would consider a "mediocre state school." She's in the smallest college in the school, has had two classes taught by her academic advisor her first year, lives in a residential learning community where the students have similar majors and take classes and some weekend trips together. She was not exactly an academic superstar in HS and didn't really do EC. I think she would have been bored and unmotivated in community college because most of the course offerings are so generic - her first two years at a 4-year school will include several classes in her major that would not have been available at a CC.
