I am also a working professional. I have attended 3 different community colleges(CC) over 35 years and I have just earned my AA from TESC. I have been happy enough with them that I have decided to continue on for my BA with them. I am by no means well off and I am paying my own way through college. I spoke to a UofP representative on the phone for a long time, but when I looked into price, transferred credit they would accept and quality of education it became obvious they could not compete with the big 3.
