I bet it's even worse in the US.
For a decade+, people have framed "the college experience" as the reason you should attend instead of getting skills online or on your own. Then they promote their great facilities, beautiful campus, state of the art labs, etc.
When THAT is your main value prop and then suddenly take it away, what do you expect will happen?
- BlameKaneda 5y agoAbout 9 years ago I attended a college Q&A session, and I was the only one in the group who was currently at a community college (the rest were HS juniors and seniors). The community college route was brought up (with my name specifically), and although the presenter brought up the benefits of a 2-year school none of the other students and parents were having it. They were certain that "the college experience" was the only way forward. I was able to graduate from the CC and transfer to a public 4-year school as a junior. The tuition was minimal (compared to a private university) and paid off without hassle, and if I'd gone the "traditional" college route I don't think I would've been as lucky.
