In recession, attention and enrollment growing for community colleges
While considering the costs of a degree, Heather Lothrop decided that going to a four-year college was not an option, at least not immediately. Lothrop, 20, of South Nyack instead decided to stay close to home, save money and go to Rockland Community College. She recently graduated and is now headed to Fordham University. She plans to attend law school after that. Considering the economic downturn, she said she feels thankful she made her choice and is now continuing her education without being saddled with college loans.
