As a person who's attended the University of Texas and several community colleges, I find the community colleges far superior. The class size is MUCH smaller, with students receiving individual attention, not from some harried teaching assistant, but from the instructor, who usually has actual real-life experience in the subject they're teaching. Some even had day jobs DOING the skill they were teaching. At UT, I had many giant classes taught in auditoriums by overworked, slave-like teaching assistants - in some, I NEVER saw the professor. The student mix is great as well, with older students mixed in with younger. I'm planning on going again soon, maybe to learn welding.
