<p>You may be a little less for morale after spending a few years at a community college, but you will have cost yourself (and taxpayers) a LOT less money. Who’s the smart one then? </p>
<p>I don’t even buy the “but lower division courses are easier at a community college!” argument; Suppose they are, aren’t you smarter for taking the easier route and getting a higher GPA? </p>
<p>In a way, I’m glad I “missed out on the high school experience” by going through a homeschool program. I didn’t have to hear about valedictorians, or SATs, superscoring, weighted or unweighted GPAs, or any of that silly crap meant to boast teenagers’ egos.</p>
