I'm old as dirt but I have kids in college/getting ready to attend college so this is something we have been researching heavily for the past several years.
Congratulations on your recent graduation good luck with the search, what're you taking? I'm not ready to contemplate grad school yet. I know I want to go eventually, just not next fall. I need to get a job first to fund it haha

Thanks! I am interested in an MBA. I know Rutgers is one of the best public MBAs in the area, but I'd like to get out of the state.
Recently, I've had an interest in human-computer interaction, but my current career path doesn't align with it.
Best of luck on your job search. What did you study? I studied Comp Sci.
It's been shown in this thread that the middle-class (we used $80k as the income) qualify for need-based grants that make it cheaper to go to a 4-year school.
It's also been mentioned that many 4-year colleges do not accept transfers from community colleges.
With no proof.

What do you mean, no proof? From the school's websites aren't enough proof? There's been references to several sources. We've run the numbers through the school's actual financial need calculators and provided specific numbers.
No one has quoted one sentence from one four year catolog (or shown any other evidence, either) that "many 4-year colleges do not accept transfers from community colleges.". Not one person has shown one sentence froma college cataglog that says that.

I think a lot of posters have some hidden agenda by stating things like "The lowest common denominator".
One thing I have to agree on is the quality of the professors at the community colleges.
It seems the professors were either newly certified or came from another country and had very thick accents.
Other than that,it doesn't matter where you attend college.
What matters the MOST is the major in whether or not your successful.
A lot of careers are dominated by community college grads. Nursing is one of them.
Over 80% of Rn's graduated from two year programs.
We actually make more money than some 4 year college and university grads,so I wouldn't exactly say cc grads are the lowest common denominator.
