Response

            In this article Liz Addison is responding to Mr. Perlstien’s statement “Community Colleges Doesn’t matter anymore”. Addison states that “It is here that Mr. Perlstein will find his college years of self-discovery, and it is here he will find that college does still matter”. I totally agree with her. As being an community college student I believe that community college is what we can call the “Next Step” after high school. Most of the time students an unaware of the field they want to major in and the community college really gives them the opportunity to come in and self-discover themselves rather than wasting time and money in universities making hard choices. Community colleges are also fairly cheap compare to the four year universities. I also agree with Liz’s statement on community colleges being opened to everyone. It is so nice to be in the environment of freedom. It’s here in the community colleges you can find flexible schedules and variety of classes to help students find their majors.
