[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Washingtonian or Bethesda Magazine recently published this. It was disturbing. Not aiming for Harvard but community college or UMD is not OK.[/quote] You're putting the University of Maryland at College Park in the same category as Montgomery College? Why?[/quote] UMCP is very competitive for in state students AND don't forget some kids don't have the luxury of 4 years at a private college or university. MC provides two years of cost effective instruction and the ability to transfer. I think we will see more and more people choosing the community college option -as costs continue to skyrocket.[/quote] Not everyone can afford a 4 yr college. Although I had pretty good grades, I ended up at MC for financial reasons and then transferred to UMCP 2 years later. Guess what- I turned out OK! I have a great job and make a really great salary. MC or UMCP is not going to doom your children, folks. [/quote]
