<p>EPGY tech support is great. In fact, they are not only knowledgeable about technical problems, but also very helpful in straightening out problems with admin, which frequently tries my patience. Sometimes I can reach tech support immediately, but usually I have to leave a message. Often they call back within minutes, but always within 24 hours. </p>
<p>I don’t know about all community colleges, but the courses at the one near me are not even close to EPGY courses in quality or rigor. The community college courses go faster than courses at the local high school, but don’t cover the material in any more depth. EPGY does go into more depth and expects the student not merely to be able to solve problems similar to homework problems, but to thoroughly understand the theory and be able to apply it to a variety of problems. You’ll be expected to do a lot of proofs if you take EPGY math.</p>
<p>Warning: don’t take EPGY courses if you are wedded to your programmable graphing calculator. EPGY math courses limit students to basic scientific calculators on tests.</p>
