<p>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.</p>
