“”When did they change it and start charging tuition? I did my first to years at a community college BECAUSE THEY WERE FREE!!! “”
Glad you stepped in because I was thinking the same thing. Of course, at my age I am not at all responsible for the way I remember things....
LOL! Me too! I’m talkin’ the 60s here! I think!
Our local community colleges were very reasonably priced, but they were not free. Many students at 4-year schools during the regular school year (including me) would take community college courses in the summer.
Back in the 70s and 80s, community colleges provided good value and most of the faculty were decent educators.
My daughter has told me that a number of her friends with 4-year degrees are returning to community colleges to get various certifications and/or 2-year degrees because the community colleges provide curricula directly related to jobs.
Shame he wants to muck it up.
