<p>As a mentally ill student, I’m sort of offended by what you all have written here. I have friends who attend CCs, and I agree that they can be every bit as challenging as a regular university and in some cases even more so. However, by suggesting that mentally ill students should limit their options, you really stigmatize the illnesses. Personally, I have been on antidepressants since age 12 and though the battle is not over by any means, I have the ability to care for myself. Therefore, I would suggest that those making suggestions be extremely careful with generalizations.</p>
