One CC I tried made me take a placement test, but I tested out of the one class I was going for.
CCs will take just about anyone with a HS diploma or GED. There's not really an option to redo those courses, so you just start at the entry level stuff in CC, which is the stuff you should have been taught in HS anyway. It doesn't matter because you're expect to use very, very little of that you take all that time and money learning. It's all very performative.
I have no clue what you're trying to say. I did my first two years of college at a community college and both the facilities and professors were better than at both CSU's I attended.
Community Colleges vary wildly is quality. My local one was a credit mill. The second closest one is much better, but things didn't work out because I tested out of the one course I wanted to take and when I insisted I still wanted it, the advisor lied about it being full. I know he lied because when I went home, I checked online and there were five openings.
That sounds so shady, dang. Sorry that happened to you.
