What is really the killer for us is having to live on campus freshman year. That is why a community college looks so appealing. The cost to go to some of the colleges seam reasonable till you add up room and board. Would be great but not always affordable for families. Since we can move anywhere we could avoid that extra cost and make it all manageable. I was wondering if there are any community colleges that are ranked really high that a med school might not look down on if a student attended there?
