It could be worse....

Background: 
    I'm from a small, crazy backwards part of Michigan in which most everybody does 2 years of community college and then gets married, has a kid, and becomes their parents. 
     The best time to listen to country music is between the hours of midnight and 6 am.

I'm writing a paper, I've been up all night, but this made my day.

At 4 am ( Read more... )

Considering that MSU is the size (population-wise, as well as geographically) of several communities and towns in Michigan, I don't think we can be considered a community college. We have like three of our own zip codes for bob's sake. And our own power plant, police force, and city staff. We are a city.

Plus, I've taken classes at a community college. "Science" and English, and they have nothing on the workload of a single one of my MSU courses.

I've always liked the phrase "if you're going through hell, keep going. You'll come out the other side."

It's true... classes at the community college are nothing like actual university classes. There is not one community college that can compare with a university.

Washtenaw Community College has an art program that rivals U of M, and some automotive stuff that rivals Ferris; it's a good place to get an associates in Recording technology, and it's nursing program, while not enough to make you an RN, can still get folks through a serious leg up on the beginning stuff while they're applying to Nursing School. Most of their GenEd classes are better than the shit I sat through at Eastern, and a good chunk of the people who take their geneds are students from U of M who want the quality, but want less of their bank account brutally savaged by the thrusting member of U of M.

Additionally, Schoolcraft Community College in Livonia has one of the top culinary schools in the damn United States. They're always waitlisting people for that program, often for two years.

That being said, both of these colleges are in rich, rich, loaded, wealthy areas, funded by the rich parents of kids who couldn't get into U of M or MSU and will quickly fail from both of these colleges.

Also, MCC still blows.

Though there are a couple of Community Colleges that are up to par with actual colleges, I'm still miffed that MCC COMPLETELY LOST my trascript, so I had to take a third science class because MCC couldn't keep track of their own goddamn files.
