<p>A while ago, I saw an article (don't remember where) about community colleges that have dorms. What do you think of that idea?</p>
<p>Personally, I think it's a GREAT idea. Obviously, staying in the dorms wouldn't be required (and housing may be first-come first-serve), but I think it would be great to give community college students more of a college experience.</p>
<p>Seems to me like an unnecessary expenditure, unless the dorms are run in a for-profit model. In which case, they might be priced beyond the typical Community College student’s budget.</p>
<p>CCs are about 25-30% returning students (who probably already have houses) so no.</p>
<p>I thought it would be a semi-good idea but then I realized that its simply ■■■■■■■■. Socially, the dorms would be of zero benefit for the school body/experience because since CC is commuter-only, and there is no official university setting, it is baseless and unnecessary. So, if the school does not have the word university in it, forget about it</p>
<p>I like the idea.</p>
<p>When I read Mollie’s post, it sounded like an interesting idea. Like maybe a very large community college project for 2-5k students. </p>
<p>But then, I realized that my IN-STATE dorm tuition is 12k a year. If I could live at home and eliminate 12k of extra expenditures, I would. It might be an interesting idea for people who just have money to burn, but I think the amount of people who would use these dorms are pretty small.</p>
<p>my community college had one fraternity. Some guy rented out a 10 bedroom mansion near campus and started enlisting people by the masses, it eventually became a real chartered fraternity. Dunno how it would work as the drop out rate at my CCC was over 50%</p>
<p>They were pretty much one big keg party every weekend.</p>
