<p>I don’t have a problem with students going to community college and then onto a university. But it would be a big problem for me if the students at a LAC that my daughter was thinking of attending had the same attitude toward their college that students typically have toward their community college.</p>
<p>Also, no offense ucbalum, but the two examples you provide seem totally off point. One concerns a 14 year old who was admitted to UCLA at age 12 after obtaining an AA degree at a community college that he started at at age 8. The other is a 31-year-old who is graduating at the top of his class from UCB, to which he transfered after having started his education at a community college. Those are two remarkable stories, but I’m not sure how they relate to whether having a large number of students who want to transfer from a small, four-year LAC would negatively affect the class’s morale. That’s my point – overall morale is important, and I would be concerned that a low yield figure MIGHT correllate to overall low morale.</p>
