Thanks Aaron for your comments. I did not mean to imply that Community Colleges were inferior but I do think for many students who plan on getting a 4 year degree and are the first individual in their family to attend college, the general college offers an opportunity to get acclimated to the university culture. I think you give a balanced summation of the issues involved.
Community college may be better for many students. Many professors and classes offerred at our community colleges are very comparable in academic rigor to those at the university in my experience from taking classes for fun(yeah, I'm one of those folks I likes to learn).
