When you fail to study before exams...

[SweetSecret]

Attending community college is already available to everyone- anyone- and if you're in a lower income bracket, you'll receive a Pell, which over-pays the tuition.

Jennifer, I adore you, however this statement is pretty much a blanket & not always true... though I wish it were! Many students for various reasons are not able to access this funding. When I first started college, because of my age & my parents refusal to be involved or fill out the FAFSA forms - I did not receive the pell grant until about the last term of my associates because I'd just turned old enough to apply on my own. I also met a girl last week (amazing young woman) who didn't qualify because she had a felony as a child, grew up in the system since both parents were involved in drugs, & she was pardoned for the felony much later when she was 28. By then she already had her bachelors. Her parents weren't involved in her college education either though. My point is that there are some extreme cases which exist, & for those of us who have lived through them we would have really benefitted from a different (more reasonable) way to access education. This forum is helping with that, but people shouldn't need to jump through hoops while their peers casually access college.
