2 years of community college will save much.

I'm going back to University this fall and I do not have to worry about this crap, because it's all paid for by the government..



And who pays for the government? You?



I do, I have no problems paying taxes.. And neither does the rest of my country.. I actually pay more taxes then I need to, and I vote for a party that would tax my trust fund etc.

You pay for the nation you want to have, either by building jails everywhere and filling them to the brim with the poor your nation can not put to better use.. You pay out the nose for not giving them proper care but instead flooding your ER's etc.. Or you simply do away with poverty like we have and build a humane society where we expect you to become a functioning honest citizen instead of a liability and we will give you the proper tools to become that citizen.

It's like the conservtitards give the man a fish and he's content for a day teach him how to fish and he's set for life.

I know OMGZ socialism..

not a fan of the community college approach. i realize that may be the only option if finances are an issue. but the level of education is dramatically lower and you're going with a bunch of retarded stoners that will sap your desire to keep the wheels on and finish a 4 year degree.

After retiring from the Marines I went to Community college for two years. I was glad I did. I was not ready for the workload NAU puts on you. My hardest class in Community college was equal to the easiest class at NAU. Yes, government has causes prices to skyrocket. Shame.

If your classmates sap your desire to continue your education, maybe you shouldn't be in college in the first place.

As for the level of education being lower - I doubt that highly when it comes to the classwork that matters in the vast majority of college degree programs - ESPECIALLY given the current state of affairs with respect to degree factories and the dumbing down and watering down of curriculum in order to accommodate all the folks with gub'mint money and to stretch out content into the graduate degree programs as well...

I expect the next step is that "private" colleges will stop accepting credits from other schools so that they can attempt to keep their bubble going. This will force more students into state schools where credits from in-state community colleges are often mandatorily transferred in and so forth.

In other news, students in Quebec are staging a massive protest at this very moment because the government wants to raise their tuition rates by a fairly large amount.

They currently pay an average of about $2500 a year in tuition.

I don't think this is true at all as a rule. In a lot of cases community college classes are smaller so you get more one on one time. I'm not at all sure an introductory class taught by a community college professor to 15 students is worse than an introductory class taught by an uninterested 4 year college professor to 90 students.


The big difference is social, not educational. By going the community college route you miss out on the first 2 years of the 4 year college experience.

It really is too bad that states keep cutting funding to higher education and causing prices to skyrocket.
