    Got this from the daily news email of The New York Times:

    "Community colleges are recasting themselves as wise first choices for the serious student looking to side step crushing debt."

    You may have to register to view the story. But it's free and shouldn't be too much of a bother.

    Hello, In our area NJIT and Burlington County College share a campus so the savings are incredible for local students. BCC has articulating agreements with many colleges which increases the appeal. Have a great Sunday. Hille

    A friend of mine did his first two years at Austin Community College, and finished up at UT Austin. He saved a lot of money (even though his father is a full professor at UT), and in the end he still had a BSEE from UT, which is a top engineering school. I think that it's a great route for anyone to take, especially with a community college that has an articulation agreement that provides a clear path into a good 4-year program.

    Hello, I am wondering if someone could add to this post listing the least expensive community colleges that offer distance learning. Tuitions as of 1/1/03 would be great. Hille
