[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't want my child going to community college, because some kids get "stuck" in that limbo. Living at home, working part-time or full-time, hanging with friends from high school who didn't go away to college - school can take a backseat. A[b]nd it's just not the same experience as going away to school for 4 years, living independently, not having mom/dad around. I want the full college experience to be her first priority for 4 years, like it was for me.[/b] I understand if CC to University works better for some families, especially financially.[/quote] I agree with this. I would be ok with CC if that's all we could afford or if DCs did poorly in HS and couldn't get into a decent college. But otherwise, there is a lot of value IMO in the on-campus experience. DH went to a local 4-yr university and lived at home the whole time and he missed out on a lot and recognizes that.[/quote]
