Students often attend a lecture of about 50 minutes, sit in desks that have been there since the Cold War period, and take notes that are written on the chalkboard rather than a markerboard without the screeching noise. Powerpoint, too, is sacrificed in favor of the venerable overhead projector.

| - Typical students found at a community colleges include ex-convicts, divorced mothers, foreign exchange students, people with low self-esteem, hippies, burnouts, and degenerates. Most of the guys are taking online classes in their pajamas while watching Family Guy reruns. Half of the students attending a community college work, while the other half "study full-time." Students often attend a lecture of about 50 minutes, sit in desks that have been there since the Cold War period, and take notes that are written on the chalkboard rather than a markerboard without the screeching noise. Powerpoint, too, is sacrificed in favor of the venerable overhead projector. When class is dismissed, students rarely talk with anyone they do not know, nor least of all ask the teacher a question. They are only enduring this cold, sterile environment in hopes of one day being able to transfer to a four-year university. However, there are many roadblocks along the way, such as: prerequisites, erratic and unusual class hours, and obnoxious counselors. There is also the fact that most communities are low-budget institutions that don't offer the classes you need in order to get into four-year universities. These students should have gotten better grades in high school and applied for four-years when they had the chance — In other words, community college is a place for your soul to die.
