Community college ostensibly for people who don’t have a good track record from High School, but is often advertised as the cheap, local option for people who don’t want to feel bad about having to go.

I did in fact try community college and it’s really just high school material with smaller text. I even took it in parallel with an edX equivalent and the material wasn’t even close to each other. The idea that CC is suppose to replace the first 2 years at a real college is terrifying and reinforces how much of the professional word is theater.

If you do any number of years at a community college, you should be able to apply as a freshman to a real college if you want.

    You’re doing a lot of comparisons to other people in your classes. Why do what they’re doing have any effect on your success? Who cares if they aren’t paying attention, or aren’t learning? What are you doing in those classes? Why are you wanting to do easy classes you can test out of when instead you could be taking harder classes?

    Idk man, everything you put out here is screaming “I don’t want to like community college because I belong elsewhere”, and like I said, those thoughts reside 100% completely in your own head. Either go to a 4 year university if you can and be happy, or deal with it if you aren’t being accepted to colleges and make a plan. Going online and trying to demean community colleges and comparing yourself to the lower mortals in these classes is not going to help you.

    Maybe stop worrying about how other people are doing or how you’re going to be viewed about where you went, and just make a plan on how you’re going to actively achieve what you want to.

      The CC teacher was the one judging the other students. She was outside the class and didn’t realize I was already there when I over heard her shit talking her students. The other teacher she was talking to didn’t feel the need to correct her. It was disgusting to hear. The only one here I’m judging here is her.

        I’m sorry you heard it, but unfortunately professors are people too, and I’ll tell you that’s not unique to community college. That’s something that you will find at all levels, even full universities.
