I feel like many of us are already making that choice. Most people I know started college at a cc then transferred to a 4-year school or commuted to a local 4-year SUNY. The primary consideration in the choice was a strong program at an affordable price.
I think CC is a glimpse of a world most of the rest of us don’t see. We’re not sending our kids to sleep away colleges, and available “frills” don’t factor into the decision. The ability to get a degree in their chosen field without acquiring a lot of debt is the main concern.
