<p>Yes, we have visited, and it was an uplifting experience. Much more so than many of the bottom-tier or more affordable four-years we’ve seen. What we saw is very much at odds with what he hears from classmates who have never even been there. The next step is to see if I can get a County transfer counselor to meet with him and explain What Happens After. They must be very busy with more pressing needs than a 10th grader would have, so I’m almost embarrassed to ask. But two thirds of entrants go to 4-years. We recently ran into a distant cousin who did exactly that, right here, and is happily employed in a professional capacity.</p>
<p>What he hears about County from his friends reminds me exactly of his time in the toddler wing at nursery school. The three year olds (same general bunch of kids) told each other – “don’t go on the potty or they will send you to the preschool room! and there are monsters up there!”</p>
