an increasingly popular trend is to complete the first two years in a community college and transfer the credits to a four-year institution. This way the core class requirements can be obtained on the cheap and the student only has to pay through the nose for the specialty classes.

My kid is just completing his first year at a community college and will transfer his credits for his last two years.

The considerations for this were:

1. From my experience, the community college does just as good at teaching the basics as the university.

2. There is no way I am going to permit him to saddle himself with thousands of dollars of student loans just to get an "education." That is financial stupidity.

Excellent.
