[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's very good for lower income families who cannot afford 4 years of college easily.  It also allows you to go in as a transfer student vs. freshman.  There are advantages and we consider it but heard too many negative things.[/quote]

This is actually not always true - dual enrollment students are often still considered freshman.  Umd, for example, only considers dual enrollment students transfers if they complete additional college credits post high school graduation. [/quote]

Faculty at some local OOS schools have noted the DE students are not socially ready for the college experience - academically they may have covered the material, but they have seen much better results with the 2 years of CC and a transfer into a major (like engineering) over the HS DE experience an attending college. So yes it can save money, but the kids have struggles having missed those HS years with their peers. [/quote]

I certainly expect faculty to feel threatened by DE. They need four years of enrollment from every student to keep their jobs.[/quote]
