It depends on the community college. Many of honors programs that are superb and attract a high caliber student. Here in Miami Dade our local school is no. Longer a CC. It changed its name officially years ago. Why? It offers four year degrees. All students get an Associates but many stay and get a bachelors. So it is now Miami Dade College. It is the largest college system in the US run by a county. It’s honors program is amazing. Students in film, nursing, education etc do well only going there or going there and then transfer. Anyone who lives in this county with an HS degree (or GED) or taking DE from a local HS can go and in general it is low to no cost. To give you an idea my daughter was sent without talking to them her acceptance and the forms for the honors program because she is a senior. She is heading elsewhere but many of her friends and my son’s from class if 2020 do elect to go there first. The rules are simply be a resident of Miami Dade and have HS or equivalent.
