Community colleges' learning disability

[EFerrari]

8. I feel so lucky that my community college was in its heyday

when I went there. The teachers were outstanding and there were good counselors, too, to help me prepare to transfer which was crucial because no one in my family had done it and we were all clueless. It couldn't have gone more smoothly. I had to take some courses at night which was hard on the family but for the most part, it was a great experience. Never once were the odds against me finishing school put in my face.

It was a lively place, not like City College in San Francisco, for example, that is depressing to walk through or was, last time I was there.
