Most of my friends went off to state colleges and were living the life of a college student while I went to my little CC. However, looking back on it, I am so glad I did. It was something like $1,500 per semester. I worked part-time during CC and was able to pay through tuition and books with a little assistance. Same with my final two years going to a smaller school. Looking at tuition costs for Oklahoma University (where most of my friends went), I saved roughly $42k by going to community college.
I think your position then is likely the norm for most kids. As you say, it's a shame because it can save you serious money and you end up with the exact same degree.

This may actually result in more people voting for democrats if the perception is the Republicans are the reason these rulings are going against them.
Sure, but that would display a marked ignorance of how our government is set up. Pelosi herself correctly pointed out that Biden didn't have the authority. The legislative branch has ceded a lot more power to the executive than the Frames ever intended, they certainly don't need to continue to do so.
