Community Colleges: Doing the work high schools won’t do.
Sadly true.
Actually, a lot of students use community colleges to earn a very reasonably-priced 2 years’ college credit before transferring to a 4 year school. If you take the right classes practically everything can transfer to the 4 year school.
I’m not for making them “free,” as Obama advocates because nothing’s free. However,when I hear about or read stories about college grads with crushing student loan debts because they attended some private college for four years, I always wonder how much they could have saved by going to a much cheaper community college for classes like Western Civ, or Chemistry I or other classes like that.
