The numbers I posted are aggregate. In the pdf they were subdivided into level of education.

Hopefully your community college system is entirely different than ours ... but locally the Community Colleges are more like extension high schools, and have a lot of remedial math and english classes.

Ah, wolf, you're an elitist and you know it. Just say so! Nothing to be ashamed of! All love starts with self-love, y'know.

Looking down on the community college is all I got. After all, I went to the State College.

Well, if I had several thousand dollars to spare I would go to a state college too.

But that doesn't mean that I am not going to go to college at all because I can't afford to go to "nice" schools

current university fees for kagen= $15,000+
come study in oz

Jeez!!! That is a lot of money... is that a year or a semester? Since I am paying out of pocket I can only go part time (i.e. 5-6 credit hours per semester) so I pay about $500+ a semester, which is doable. But $15,000+? No. Way.
:worried:

its after 3.5 years so far, ill finish after 4.5.
its called HECS. and i'll be paying it off for quite some time when i get a full time job

Ok... thats much better... but at least I am free and clear as far as student loans since I am paying as I go. Later I will have to get loans though, so I won't be free and clear forever. Good luck!

Ero, when your best friend looks up solipsist...

And a whole lot of the student body desperately need the remediation. If I went back to college I'd probably have to do remedial math myself -- high school algebra was a long time ago and I only barely scraped by then. Community colleges are really more like high schools, as you said, and it's true about everywhere. They give a lot of bang for the buck, though, if their curriculum offerings match what the kid's after studying.

But the quality of college-age if not college-ready written English has long been a problem. Strunk & White's well-written and extremely valuable
The Elements of Style, a slender handbook, has been continuously in print since the mid-twentieth century. I believe it began as a class handout.

Oh, and textbooks cost like a large tank of gas.

Quite true. Bad paraphrase on my part.
