I love my local community college. I already have an undergraduate degree in computer engineering but several years ago took a class in linear algebra to refresh my understanding of it as well as out of personal interest.
I liked that the class size was small and that the teacher was willing to hear our questions. Some of the people were in the class for what seemed like grade 13 but about half the people were in it for the transfer program to a state university.
I admire the people who are trying to better themselves by taking advantage of community college (a bargain for education compared to the state schools). This is a very smart route whether they are trying to learn some new skills or attend the state schools on the cheap.
For those of you who think that there's no reason for you to look through the course catalog you really should give it a shot. I took an excellent project-based photography course and learned a lot that enabled me to take decent pictures wherever I go. There are public speaking classes, english writing, and all kinds of arts classes. Lots of other stuff like welding and auto mechanics. It's a great and relatively inexpensive way to try something completely different.
