<p>I think it all depends on your professors. I’m lucky to have had mostly “freeway runners” as professors who teach simultaneously at my CC along with private universities and local UC/CSUs. They use the exact same lectures in our classes but with the smaller class sizes it’s easier to get questions answered, etc. On the other had to drop a couple classes because the Professors treated the class like Junior High. Seriously, one had “notebook” checks where she made sure everyone had labeled dividers and 1 inch binders, so we could all learn to be organized. It was a joke. Overall, though I think I’ve been lucky to have been able to learn from many accomplished professors without the University price-tag.</p>
