Another benefit I enjoy from a community college is the smaller class sizes (relative to a university) when taking these core classes.

As an individual returning to school after working for 15 years, a community college was on my list with online schools (they also have an online community college, of course) as the price of it is much lower than a university. If it were free for younger folks, that would be an incredible incentive to learn a trade.

Where I live (N. Colorado), a community college's cost can get rather steep. If you take eight credit hours, you could pay $1500+ just for the classes, and you may buy books. That's a typical out-of-pocket for a local school here, so you may get a grant, program, or scholarship to help you, but yeah, it's hard...

Thx for the Jeopardy knowledge, Smeagol!

I'll take "examples of adult tantrums" for $100, Alex!

That's right... Zuckerberg and Bezos have a scrub team they send around once a quarter to keep the internet shiny...

Corrected Bezos, it's a z.

Especially when you have Ivy League schools that could spend a million dollars a year on dorms and still make profits from the donations they receive.

So many Universities have become a booming business, making me want to throw up. Knowledge is crucial. Putting it behind a giant paywall that keeps growing for its own selfish needs is a means of control.

Note that I'm not talking about every single college in the world. I'm just referring to a big problem with a lot of them.

Sincerely, A college student
