[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Below T100. Or community college.

Honestly, with the cost college these days, even to T100 below, [b]I'm thinking my solid B student DC go the community college route.[/b] [/quote]

Mistake! C student, sure. B student? No way. [/quote]
why not? College costs are stupidly high.  I am not paying up the nose for a T100 and below college.  I'm not even sure I want to for a t75 below.[/quote]

You are paying too much attention to rankings--the educational quality and career outcomes don't differ that much--rankings make you think there are meaningful differences when there are not.  It's the student and the major more than the institution.  [/quote]

I know. PP had really fallen for the USNWR hype.

College is for your child, not what others think about how prestigious others think their education was. [/quote]
college is for my child in order to get a good paying job.  Why would I spend $320K+ on a subpar college education to get a job that tops out at $75K/yr. That's a terrible ROI.

There's nothing wrong with 2 yrs at community college,, then transfer to a good college, especially for those who aren't sure what they want to major in.[/quote]

Oh, you see it as vocational school.

Some of us think of it as an educational institution. A bridge from adolescence to adulthood, where much if the learning takes place outside of the classroom. [/quote]
some of us don't have family money to pass on to our kids, so yea, college is a path to a good paying job so that they can be financially secure.  You either have some family money or you're a pollyanna type that thinks the taxpayers should pay off your student loans so they can study whatever they want and see college as a "bridge from adolescence to adulthood, where much if the learning takes place outside of the classroom."[/quote]

Oh, and your kid will move from adolescence to adulthood during those years. And most if the learning they will need to succeed as an adult will take place outside the classroom, whether you realize that or not. So you might consider giving them a vote on where they go and what they study. It is respectful of the human they are becoming. [/quote]
