Community college ostensibly for people who don’t have a good track record from High School, but is often advertised as the cheap, local option for people who don’t want to feel bad about having to go.

I did in fact try community college and it’s really just high school material with smaller text. I even took it in parallel with an edX equivalent and the material wasn’t even close to each other. The idea that CC is suppose to replace the first 2 years at a real college is terrifying and reinforces how much of the professional word is theater.

If you do any number of years at a community college, you should be able to apply as a freshman to a real college if you want.

    I haven’t found a way to purge bad classes

    You retake them and get a good grade. That’s the way.

    I failed Calc 2, retook it and got a B. That’s quite literally the way to purge them.

      I need to speak to an actual college rep on that one. When I completed a shitty high school class, there was no option to redo it.

        Yup definitely talk to the college, but he is right that is how you purge a bad grade.
