Community College, the right choice for now

We visited the local community college with Carter yesterday. It will be a perfect fit for his first year(he just isn't ready to move away...you should see him play with his little sibs, so sweet!). College Algebra is college algebra, whether you take it at a well respected 4 year university or at a small community college. We were impressed with the small classes and easy to get to know professors, the perfect blend of hometown feel and yet transitioning to adulthood. And, they have a really good jazz band!
 I am learning to slay my pride.  I wanted to be able to answer the question that we get several times a week "Where is Carter headed next year?" with a nice university name.  But, forgive me Lord for being snooty, this is such a better fit AND such a bargain!!  About 2500 total for Fall/Spring compared to 28,000 dollars for the private university we were strongly considering. The student ambassador who gave the tour yesterday was a Carter twin. The talked guitars and music the whole time.  What a blessing to have that all ironed out!
