A vote for community college

My neighbor is thinking about going back to college. He went right out of high school but only stayed one semester. Our job offers tuition reimbursement so he feels that he might as well take advantage of that benefit. I totally agree that he should go and get his degree. A degree can open so many doors for job opportunities especially when it's virtually free.

He wants to go to a 4 year school. I'm trying to convince him to go to the local community college. Tuition at the community college is $400 per class, the 4 year schools charge more than $400 per credit. He can take all of his elective classes in 2 years and have it totally covered, then transfer to the 4 year school for his last 2 years.

I just hope he listens.
