community colleges are awesome if you're still completing bullshit undergrad requirements. Why would you pay double tuition for the same shitty class with three times the people compared to uni. I'm getting my AA then going to a "real" university, and I don't understand why more people don't do this.

I go to Whatcom Community College in Bellingham, WA. (google the name for the school's page) I dig it, a lot of the professors are just retired from the university in town (WWU). It's a good school close to epic skiing.

Mt. Baker- 1 hr
Whistler- 3 hrs
Stevens Pass- 2.5 hrs

plus Bellingham is a sick city with good mtn biking and an epic skim spot. and WCC is 60/40 girls dudes... not a bad thing....

hope that helps
