I left the house early on my first day at Glendale Community College, knowing my class was at 7:40 a.m. and I’d have to find it.
My dad raised his coffee cup and wished me luck. I was the first person in my family to go to college.
The campus was bigger than my high school. No bells rang, calling us to class. The students were of all ages. There was a smoking area.
Anything seemed possible there.
I found my class, Philosophy 101, on the opposite side of campus from where I’d parked. The professor had a scraggly beard and wore Birkenstocks.

Public universities can respond to community colleges that seek to add programs, but the new law does not allow a public university to prevent a community college from offering a baccalaureate degree.
