“I teach at a community college, and I am AMAZED at how much cheaper the tuition is than at the state university I attended! I mean, it’s not exactly the ‘true college experience,’ but earning an associate’s in two years and then transferring for a bachelor’s means saving a LOT of money for your gen eds!”
“Then you can focus on major-specific classes at the transfer institution, making that higher tuition more reasonable for the level of expertise you get in upper-level university classes. My college even has free tuition ‘promise’ programs for high school graduates in our service area who maintain a certain GPA, which saves you a few grand a year!”

“Community college does not mean you’re getting a lesser education. I had a professor who taught the same exact subject at a university give us the same exact work and test, and us community college people always earned the higher grades. But I tell people all the time, go to community college; do your basics.”
