Help me, an average student, choose

To begin with, these people are being really pessimistic about going to a CC. It’s NOT your only option.

It may be the most financially feasible option.



True, but as bchristian19 said, there are always student loans. Although it’s not for everybody, student loans are an excellent way to establish credit and pay back a college education over time.

And by the way, I wasn’t trying to demean community colleges in any way. It’s just that so many posters on cc think so low of them; and when an “average” student comes along, no 2400 on the SAT nor a perfect 4.0 GPA to brag about, everyone jumps the gun and has to suggest what they consider to be the least attractive alternative, that being community colleges.

But maybe that’s just me.
