is there any pride in community college?
I noticed the people who go to university (especially the really good ones) they tend to wear their school clothing wear such as hoodies, shirts, and whatnot.
It doesn't take a genius to figure out that they're showing off. I know it's not a big deal, and a little bit of pride isn't that bad. After all, we all do it, whether it be showing off our new iPhone, driving that flashy car, flexing in front of people, or whatever. It's human nature. I know that.
How about people who go to community college? I never, and I mean never in my life have I seen someone from community college wear any sort of school wear. I completely understand because first of all community college isn't something to be proud due to the fact it's a joke viewed by most people. There is a stigma on CC that it is for "dumb people" and they have a point but I personally don't believe it. It is a popular belief held by most, if not the general population. I believe everyone is smart in their own individual way.
So yeah is CC is something to be ashamed of?

I see community college as a stepping stone over something to be proud over. Like yeah you could be happy when you pass your classes and the fact that you'll be saving a buttload of money, but it's just that.
There is pride within technical schools. Not so much in community though.
Nothing wrong with going to a CC especially if you don't have a scholarships..., grants, or financial aid. It's much cheaper. My family's income is too high for me to get financial aid. I also don't feel ready to go to a university since I didn't take AP or IB courses. Many people consider CC a joke school. In my opinion it's better than a vocational school which many ignorant/lazy people from high school are going to attend. It's like a second chance for me...since I failed to take AP classes (college credit). I don't think CCs have sports teams... I've never heard of CC football, soccer, basketball teams, etc.
Most of the kids who went to CCs in my town are now doing much better than people who went to Unis, especially if they went to a Medical Tech program (radiology, sonography, etc).
Nonetheless, there is no pride for those schools.
No pride in CC. You go there if you want to save money before transferring to a real college, or just going for a certain job (nothing ever big). You'd just go for classes for a small job like dentist's assistant or surgery technician or something of the sort (the people that help doctors). Or if you want a small degree in whatever.
GREENDALE COMMUNITY COLLEGE HAS PRIDE. http://image3.spreadshirt.com/image-server/v1/products/17820557/views/1,width=378,height=378,appearanceId=18/Greendale-Community-College-2.png
[quote=TheStory]Good thing I ain't going to CC. [/quote]
Which Ivy do you go to? Or which did you get accepted to?
no, CC is like purgatory except u can escape.
Community colleges are a joke.
i didn't feel any pride when i went to cc.
well then again i do lack pride.
Going to a CC is pretty common around my area, so I do see people wearing stuff from their school pretty often.
Wearing stuff from your university isn't always about showing off either. I wear stuff from my university when I'm on campus, at home, etc. Who exactly am I showing off to? I also wear stuff from my high school around, and there's definitely nothing to show off when it comes to my high school.
You go from the community college to the university.
i seen someone with a CC backpack
lol western.
Oh God, I would never wear anything from my CC.
The only pride I can find in CC is when you transfer into a better school between sophomore and junior year, and brag about how you paid half of what your friends paid to go to college to get the same degree.
No, it's just embarrassing.
CC is not necessarily for dumb people. It is for some dumb people, but it is also for people who don't try in high school. I think the most important thing to look at is that it is mostly for people who don't have much money. People just don't wear CC apparel for the reason you just said: it is viewed as a joke by most people.
I have seen tons of people wearing CC clothing, which is stupid but I think wearing Uni clothing is stupid also.
Community college is more of a practical thing than anything else
there's no team to cheer on either. Just classes
with colleges/universities they usually have a team and matches
at communitycollege most people have better or other things to do in their lives
edit: for college kids the college is their life. They live there, eat there, take classes there, and interact mostly with the people there. In community college it isn't. As I said cc people have life outside of college.
Edit2: and ashamed of? Maybe if you think you were capable of something better. But you pay a hell of a cheap price for the education you get. You can always transfer to a better college. And because of its price and flexibility you can take classes any time at any age whenever you feel like it. Even if it's just for fun.
