| Cushy Colleges for C Students
Okay, we've had the awesome schools for B students. What about colleges for those bright kids who haven't yet caught fire in the classroom in high school, but who have potential?
Anybody have any inspirations to share?

Dominican College (NY state)
Mmmm, Rollins sounded nice (Fl?) Is that too hard?

Temple is a decent school for B/C+ students
| C+ won't get you in unless your SAT/ACT makes up for it.

How does Rollins get on this list? NO WAY, unless you are just saying that a C student might like fun in the sun, but then there are other schools in FLA that you could name which might or might not qualify.
Some others, but some might be reaches: College of St. Elizabeth, Fairleigh Dickinson, Elmira, Widener, Champlain College, Lynchburg, California College of Pa, LeMoyne, and don't forget some non-flagship state schools (a few in NJ: Kean, Stockton, U. of Jersey City, William Paterson)

A real answer is for such a student to go to a local community college for a year or two.

Hunt -- If you lived in certain parts of New York State you wouldn't be saying that. I've seen too many students go to the local CCs, get an apartment with friends, get a job at the local CVS, Target or Pep Boys to help pay for it, then let the grades slide and ultimately quit school. For other kids CC has been a godsend. But too few of them have had the self-discipline to focus on school, letting partying with old underachieving high school friends dominate their agenda. The real answer may well include a good 4-year school with a track record of taking a chance on underachieving high school students and turning them into solid if unspectacular college students.
