[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can see doing this for financial reasons, but it is best to go and take the classes UVA (or other colleges) offer instead of classes that might be watered down for the lowest performing student. There are some great community college professors out there, but there are also people who just need a job and are being pressured by administration to pass as many students as they can.

Socially, it's going to be hard to break in at someplace like UVA if you don't go there as a freshman. For some students, they may not care and this may not matter at all, but for others it could lead to a miserable college experience.

Well, the two that I know who did this are doing great!  One is getting a doctorate from a prestigious school and the other has a very good job in Nova.  So, they must have managed the adjustment somehow.[/quote]

Lots of students can make the adjustment, others are not self starting or not as academically inclined and are dragged down. Other students do well academically, but never get involved socially. Depends on what the students and the parents want to get out of college.[/quote]
