My experience from community college was quite a mixed bag. Some of the professors were amazing and genuinely loved to teach, and I benefited so much from those classes. And then some professors just seemed bitter that they weren’t at a university and made their classes miserable. I even had a few classes “taught” by someone that didn’t even have a bachelor’s (through a technicality where the dean proctored the actual exams). Overall, I learned enough and got the degree, and I was able to break into software engineering with just an associate degree and no debt. So worth it in the end!
