I don't care what state you're in, community college is nothing but a glorified high school. In most cases, it's academically less rigorous than any decent high school.
That's not necessarily a bad thing, though. If a student is lacking in some of the skills or maturity that they needed to learn in high school but still want to pursue a college education, a community college is a great place to start. It may not be the sexy thing, but it can be the smart and financially responsible thing to do. It is likely better to spend a little extra time shoring up the fundamentals on the cheap rather than jumping to the next level when one's not ready and failing out. The GPA hit from cratering 2 semesters of college and dropping out could completely derail one's quest for higher learning for years Better to start small and build up and try to jump ahead and fail.

I dont think Abita or anyone in here offering legit advice would disagree.
