-- Posted by Anonymous at 10:48 am on May 12, 2008 why do people on here act like CCs are so great? i feel like theyre just bitter they didnt get into a real school :(. i mean sure, if you dropped out then went on to one its totally better than nothing, but thats all. better than nothing. sorry kids, i will make more money than you! and im smarter, have more connections. (anon to avoid the hate pms) -- Posted by barnabas at 10:49 am on May 12, 2008 wow. ego much? Community Colleges provide great preliminary educations for a lot of people. so they have less student loans than us full time university kids. get over yourself. a degree is a degree, no one cares where it came from. -- Posted by me llamo at 10:50 am on May 12, 2008 Community coffee? -- Posted by Anonymous at 10:50 am on May 12, 2008 Quote: from barnabas at 10:49 am on May 12, 2008 wow. ego much?

I'm banking on that not being entirely true. obviously depends on your degree. people who want doctorates in history dont go to CC's -- Posted by Innuendo Girl at 10:53 am on May 12, 2008 CCs are good for saving money before transferring to a four year university. Say you were going to a private four year that cost $35,000/yr. Wouldn't you rather pay less than a third of that the first two years before transferring? A lot of community colleges have two year plans if you intend to transfer so that you complete all the requirements. -- Posted by Anonymous at 10:54 am on May 12, 2008 Quote: from Innuendo Girl at 10:53 am on May 12, 2008 CCs are good for saving money before transferring to a four year university.

At least not in Minnesota, anyway. I was going to do two years at a CC, then transfer to University of St Thomas (a private uni). I would have been able to get all the requirements except maybe one religious studies class that was specific to UST. Unfortunately I had to drop out due to health issues, but transferring is what I would have done if shit didn't happen. -- Posted by Anonymous at 10:57 am on May 12, 2008 Quote: from latin muscle at 10:51 am on May 12, 2008 Quote: from Anonymous at 10:48 am on May 12, 2008 why do people on here act like CCs are so great? i feel like theyre just bitter they didnt get into a real school :(. i mean sure, if you dropped out then went on to one its totally better than nothing, but thats all. better than nothing.    sorry kids, i will make more money than you! and im smarter, have more connections.    (anon to avoid the hate pms) Not only that, but family connections are great. :) So when your relatives own a big business, sometimes you feel like not even going to school knowing you will be set to go. ah i wish i had family connections! i have to work for all my connections, it blows -- Posted by Anonymous at 10:58 am on May 12, 2008 Quote: from Innuendo Girl at 10:57 am on May 12, 2008 Quote: from Anonymous at 12:54 pm on May 12, 2008 Quote: from Innuendo Girl at 10:53 am on May 12, 2008 CCs are good for saving money before transferring to a four year university.
