University of Texas Supreme Court case

[justgo_withit]

The following is going to be very specific to me and my area, but pertinent to the community college discussion as a general thing:

As someone who went from a 4-yr university to a community college, I feel comfortable in saying that the lack of campus life at my CC makes it much, much easier to excel in my classes. Honestly I'd say it outweighs the ease of the classes, as I go to a fairly good CC for the area and I think my current classes are just a bit easier than the university's. I did a rigorous high school program (IB) so I know how to manage my time- however, time management doesn't even factor in for me since I do basically nothing outside of school and work. At my 4 yr university I was very involved in my sorority and some student organizations which really put my time management skills to the test. Here, I have very little to actually manage.

I defer answers about how much this applies to UT to knowledgeable posters, but lack of campus life definitely has an impact on academic success.

Again, this is from the community college to state school perspective as we don't have any satellite campuses here.
