Columbus State was great for me. They have a guaranteed acceptance policy for those with high school diplomas, which means that even those who did not do so well in high school or do not have a "pedigree" can get a legitimate, affordable college education for two years to build up their credentials if they are going for a bachelor's degree somewhere else. I have found that my credits transfer reasonably well, even out-of-state (about a proportion of 3/4).

For such an inexpensive school, the campus facilities and infrastructure—such as the computer labs—are excellent. The class sizes are pretty reasonable for the most part, and I found the professors to be largely helpful and interested, if not stellar. Many teach at Franklin University as well, and I do not think many have their doctorate degrees, but it is a community college after all, and the lower level classes (all of them) do not really require someone with a Ph. D. to teach them effectively. An added bonus is that the list of classes offered on-line is huge and growing by the quarter.

Columbus State is a community college located right around "the hood" of Columbus, and therefore it is inherently flawed. However, it provided me with a chance to take legit college classes at an affordable price and to build up a respectable transfer resume that has so far netted me scholarship/grant offers of up to $16,000 a year at the colleges to which I have applied to transfer. If you can deal with classes full of the not-so-bright students that come with the territory, and if you are not in need of hyper-intelligent professors who live and breathe for their jobs, Columbus State is an excellent place to start. For me, it has been worth every penny.
