A community college can be a really good place to bolster your academic skills and give you a headstart so that you will do better when you transfer to a university.

Agreed. A community college is a great way to transition for many students.

I decided to go to NTID because I want hands-on experience. Gally is a liberal arts so that is out for me. I didn't know it was in the bad neighborhood until I visited it years after I graduated from NTID. That is why students always go in groups if they do leave the campus.

She wants to do Graphic Design, so Gally might be right up her alley. Then again, I think the transfer route is also a good idea.

But alot of my friends who graduated and is attending a community college says that they feel like they're in high school again. My mom says that when she attended there, it's alot harder than high school. So i'm confused about that.

Your friends are just pulling your leg. I happen to know quite a bit about Sinclair, and it is one of the highest rated junior colleges in the country. It definately is not high school all over again. By the same token, it is not like going away to a 4 year university, either, and their supports for deaf students are one of the best in the state. The only college I can think of that has a better disability services is Wright State. That is definately something you want to look for. And requesting disability services at the college level is quite different from your experiences in high school. The counselors at Sinclair are very good at helping you transition that.
 
If going to community college first makes financial sense, then it's a good idea. A lot of people are going the community college route to save money. People don't want to have to take on more debt in a bad economy. One of my family members is happy with his decision to go to community college. He says that a lot of his friends are there. The curriculum is that same. Community college profs are very qualified and more accessible.

I left out the financial incentives...but you are correct. And Sinclair has the lowest tuition rates in the state. They make up for it by number of students enrolled. They are huge for a community college, with a big campus. It covers about 3 city blocks.
 
Oh I did not know that gallaudet's tuition is high? wow I haven't look into it. That was over 15 years ago for me. It was cheap.

I have been talking with people who consider of going to college. lots of people start to go to community college for the first two years then move to the unviersity. It seems to be working for most of them.
