Community College has no real acceptance criteria. .I think you might need to take a placement test, but even if you place low you can still enroll in most classes.

For me I literally didn't have much else going on, so why not.

Very VERY easy way to date girls from all over the world. Nothing like studying with a Japanese girl on your 20th birthday.

The thing with life is you can never *know* about tomorrow. You can do well in college, parents don't have a spare 15k for next year and have to drop out.

A lot of kids in CC are also working full time. If you have to drop out, it's fine, can always go back.

By the time I finished at a Cal State I was working a full time software engineering job.

I have issues with the current system in general. You should have to work at less one job for a few months before taking out any type of loan. You need to understand how difficult money is to earn.
