I, for the life of me, cannot understand how community colleges haven't boomed in response to the inflation of four year degree prices.
Two years of low cost schooling (learning under some excellent people who are both experienced and interested in teaching rather than professoring) knocking out 100 level courses while working and maturing followed by two years of concentrating on a major seems like a perfect antidote for the high cost of colleges.
Of the people I knew who stayed home and went to community college, one graduated. The quality of community college seems to be fairly low. I think the advanced placement program should be a bit of a solution, but universities make it difficult to transfer credits in and graduate in 4 years or less.
its what you make it. 100/200 level courses are low quality almost anywhere comparitively. you just have to wade through the mass of dolts who don't take it seriously and treat it as HS 2.0 to satisfy their parents on some stupid level. (i.e. most of your friends as well as mine)
i did 2 years of CC. but only left for real university with 1 and a half years of credits due to also being an idiot.
High School 2.0 was definitely something that prevented me from doing it also. I thought from an academic and athletic standpoint it would be an extension of it. All of my guys that took the Juco route about 10 in all did it for basketball purposes. Once that was over their academic career was over as well.
In today's climate it is definitely more appealing.
