Why go for four years? I loved my college experience and I found that network I built was awesome. If I were to do it again though I would probably go to CC for two years then transfer to the college of my choice to offset the cost. I would

This is making the assumption that a sample size of 30 kids in one school year doesn't have anomalies that will skew the average and that the testing for reading levels such as the DRAs are foolproof?
