[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why no community college suggestions??? This is the perfect scenario to take advantage of community college and then transfer after a couple of years. No shame in community college. [/quote]

Outside of nursing, dental tech, and some skilled trades, community college is a joke. And I say that after a 25 year career in higher ed. Community colleges are not serious places -- literally 80 to 90% of the students never complete their program. And the "instructors" are frequently bats*** morons.[/quote]

I would think after 25 years in education you would express yourself more eloquently.

Yes the percentage of CC students who complete a bachelor's in 6 years is low -- about 13%, and only 30% make it to a 4 year institution

However this data is self-selecting, and makes no assessment as to whether it is a good choice for a student who is financially challenged or a late bloomer academically.  For those students, it is a lifechanging path.

Original PP here. I think that 30% is quite high and is an argument for going to a community college, especially since a lot of people who go to community colleges go there because they can’t get into a better school or because they have other circumstances behind intelligence and academic ability that make a bachelors unrealistic .
