When my son finishes his transfer degree, he will be going to a university. In the beginning he was bewildered at the community college NOT looking like your typical college experience.

To respond to your post. I think the article said that only 25% make it past the remedial courses, so no worries about colleges giving away degrees to the undeserving.
