Why do people seem to suggest gap year over community college?

<p>My D was told that she was the first person at her CC in HI that they were aware of who applied to and was accepted at US. She said many of her CC classmates were unsure of what they wanted to do. Some were getting certifications, some were taking fun courses, some were HS students getting a head start, some were dually enrolled at CC and flagship U, saving Money because CC credits cost a fraction of U credits. Some do transfer to our flagship or other U. </p>

<p>Some of the CC certification programs are now helping the students also get bachelor’s degrees so their grads will have more career and advancement options</p>
