Okay, that’s informative.
All my children of relevant age have gone to community college. The oldest joined the military after a year, the second went to a state university as a junior, and two are still at community college.
University tuition is SO HIGH these days. So it's a win-win to attend a community college first.
Besides, all those pesky "pre-reqs" can be safely taken care of for MUCH LESS $$$ so when the upper division classes had to be taken, in one's major, they could be taken with a clear conscience and free mind!
I DID that myself.
In fact, in my senior semesters of college I took TWO semesters of Scandinavian mythology. Learned ALL about Loki!
Our professor, a short, handsome guy from Stockholm, had blond hair, blue eyes and pink cheeks...100% stereotypical Scandihoovian! I loved those classes.
Mycket bra!
