The community college system in CA is great; low cost, transfer plans for good students, smaller class sizes (in some cases).

This is why I'm not so uptight. I spent 4 years after high school drifting pretty heavily. Once I got it together, the world had not left me behind - it was still there.
Also a little known tidbit - many schools will turn down applicants that they want due to low scores. If said applicant goes to a CC for a semester, often times they can transfer in easily. The various rating systems track incoming freshmen GPA and SAT scores, not transfers.
John, if she's interested in art did she consider any art schools (such as CalArts)? Not for everyone, but ideal for some people.
