    That is a pretty dumb assumption though I think, because the classes at a CC (IME) are general far more difficult then those you would pursue getting your bachelors degree. The regular Uni is just a joke.
    Also, why look down on someone because they cannot afford anywhere else? Does that make them stupid? Evil? Any worse that someone with more money?
    I never meant for the two sections to be read together.
    I meant to say 2 separate thoughts, which you clearly took to mean as one.

    Also, the statement I underlined is just plain wrong. I took 2 classes in philosophy, one at my local CC, one at Emory University, a private college. It was the opposite of what you said. My class at the CC was a joke, no one wanted to be there, many people were texting and spacing out in class, and my class at Emory was much better, people attended and participated and actually cared.
    Just pointing that out. University, whether CC or state or private, can be either a joke or very serious. It all depends on what you do with your time there.

    I never said that people who have financial problems were stupid. I do agree though that people who look down on people who attend CC because of financial problems are jerks.
