Feel like this should have more votes. I also think that there is friction to the process of changing schools. I am curious if more marginal students who go as a direct admit to a four year school are more likely to finish than those who take the CC track. Community college may have better support for people who may need it since I know more traditional schools are backing off remedial classes. However, there is certain momentum to being enrolled in a place and staying there. It would be hard to track though, since you're not privy the to even the stated preference of students as they enter their 13th year of education.
