whats the negative social stigma that many have about JC's??s?

<p>Admission standards to many CC’s are nonexistent so really anyone is able to attend them. This allows for many students who are either not prepared well enough or motivated enough to be in college. Of course, there are also many high-achieving and hardworking students (especially on this forum) who happen to be at CC for whatever reason. It’s difficult to differentiate these two types of students based solely on the school so because of this (and other reasons like grade inflation, low budgets, etc.) a negative social stigma develops.</p>

<p>Anyone I have met who has been to CC or who is familiar with it has always been positive about it though. There are those types who can act like snobs about it but those people should be ignored-- they just don’t know what we do.</p>
