Community College graduate?


That's bigger fail than I expected. CC are complete jokes.

Community colleges do a tremendous amount of good for people who would otherwise be unable to further their educations, regardless of how smart they are, either due to financial restraints or countless other factors. You can throw aside this kid's opinions for a lot of reasons, but "CC are complete jokes" is not one of them.

Well, I would expect a genius to be able to get some kind of scholarship to UCLA or USC. (Those should be pretty close to home)

 

Besides, my experience with the quality of CC education stems from what's near here. And they are not good schools.

Doesn't matter. After going through a bot of severe depression and my GPA slipping, I'm going to be taking classes at a community college while working a job in order to bring my GPA back up so I can go back to the university I want to go to. CCs are tremendously useful and good institutions that do a lot to improve the lives of many people. They are not jokes. For some people, they make all the difference in the world when it comes to quality of life.

Ha, that's the same thing I'm doing (except instead of a community college it's the small liberal arts college that my dad is a professor at (free tuition)) but same idea.

And yeah, community colleges are not jokes. I have a lot of friends who did not have either the money or grades to start at a nice school straight out so the worked and went to community college for a year or two, than transferred out. Sure they don't have the academic clout of Harvard, but that's really not the point.

Also: stop trashing liberal studies, you'll get me going on a lengthy, virulent rant.
