Fixed.

Actually, I moved away to go to a junior college before transfering to the state university here. I have my own apartment, and I have been living on my own for about 2 years now. I've met a whole new set of friends, and not being in the dorms has made me live in student housing, which has tought me more than dorm life would.

Just because someone goes to a CC doesn't mean they are sheltered. How many dorm dwellers have had to fight there way through a Mardi Gras riot in order to sleep at their own place at night?

hey you go to Cal Poly San Luis Obispo right (I'm guessing)?

Cuesta, actually. The only reason that I'm not at Poly right now is that I don't exactly relish the idea of paying 9000 bucks a semester when 85% of Cuesta faculty teach at Poly.

wha? Dinosaurs!?!

There are some aspects (alright lots) of college that don't involve class. I agree that you have to get out, learn to be responsible for yourself, learn how to drink yourself right up to ending up in a squad car, etc.

However, CC can be a great way to go; provided you still move out, and plan on attending a better school in the future. My friends who went to CC and then a UC got out of college with about 1/3 the debt I did. Can we play nice kids?

You're always nice, goofball. Twas but a preliminary volley. I've often railed against my slacker buddies who are in the style of CC program MrWallen was likely referring to; where people go to the super-local CC, take 1 or two non-transferring classes, do poorly in them, and work at Starbucks. And live in their Mom's basement.

Which isn't your scenario. But it is one that pops up.
