[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you ever seen the completion rates for full time students after 2 yrs at NOVA? The number of students graduating after full time study in a degree seeking program for 2 yrs is scary low. Like in the single digits. The info is on their website. That alone tells me that it would take an extremely motivated student to finish in 2 yrs and be successful. And in that case those type of students are already very likely to have done very well in high school and have can easily get admission to a 4yr college.

I wouldn't want my child like that to frit away years at NOVA. The learning environment is just not there. And couple that was the extreme amount of ELL learners on their campuses I can't not for a minute imagine that the course work would be rigorous enoght to prepare a kid to enter high level classes at one of those 4 yr colleges.[/quote]

Graduation rates are low at all community colleges, but they don't reflect all the students who entered intending to graduate or who moved or transfered. Plus, number wise, there's still a sizeable cohort who graduate in 2-3 years. And you also have to fit in the smart kids going part-time. But we get it, your kid is too good for CC (yet you will complain that he really deserved admission to UVA). [/quote]
