My excellent community college experience is one of the things that changed the course of my life. https://twitter.com/keseysnotion/status/1339954528683085825
My state uni undergrad experience was also awesome. I guess grad school isn’t ever supposed to be fun, but they certainly need to do a better job of recruiting people like me, because I related to very, very few peers and I was pretty miserable the whole time.
I’ve said this multiple times, but my ed and professors were UChicago-caliber, as you’d hope for it to be. But I always felt like an outsider, because my peers knew they were supposed to be there. Lots of elite school to Harvard to UChicago.
Lots of complaining that they should have gone to Columbia or Berkeley.
There were precious few non-trad students. The older ones like me were degree-collectors, a few with PhDs from Harvard and Yale already.

I kept hoping for somebody to relate to. Somebody who gets what it’s like to wait tables, you know, not on the side for fun or to help pay for school. Somebody who HAD to do it. it never seemed to happen. this was fucking social work school!
I have to think these schools at the top (not speaking for professors) aren’t interested in making things equitable, and nobody is ever going to accuse UChicago of giving a shit about the poors. Continually degrading comm college, as the WSJ does, enables the inequities
