They canceled orientation because he was The Only One! to sign up for classes. Quoting: Ralph the Troll Dog WOW. That would possible indicate two things. The lack of money and or the lack of hope. Just remember, they are keeping the destruction of the middle class out of the news and Comm College is were most Middle Class kids start for the basic classes due to price and availability. I started there, my friends started there, my kids and their friends started there. Hell, even my wife started there. Notice that they are not talking about the inflow of income taxes? Keeping that chit quite. Friend of the family works for the city. She has stated, that right now due to the lack of income tax inflow pensions are now under water. You don't see that in the news. She said that they will be forced to announce information concerning this subject no later than next spring. She also stated that this will be a major crisis all across America at local, state and federal levels. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 79861507 United States 07/21/2021 11:48 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Thanks for sharing OP. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79572077 Maybe college will be more affordable after the financial collapse. Or maybe we'll go back to apprenticeships and learning on the job like we should do. College is BS, they make you take a bunch of extra classes you don't need in order to justify extracting your arm and leg in exchange for a piece of paper, for a chance to jump through hoops in a whole pool of similarly trained monkeys. Then, if you make it through, you get to spend a large chunk of the rest of your natural life repaying a loan that has interest that accrues DAILY (crazy, right?), and hoping against hope that you'll retire with enough to keep a roof over your head and food in your belly.

Most orientation is not until August. Perhaps this college booked a shit ton of orientation days? That's what mine does. If not enough folks sign up for one day it's cancelled, and they're encouraged to sign up for a different day. |

User ID: 70484963 United States 07/21/2021 11:52 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | My son signed up for Community College, his orientation was supposed to be today! They canceled orientation because he was The Only One! to sign up for classes. Quoting: Ralph the Troll Dog I am not surprised. Earlier this year, about a week after the last covid relief check was first distributed, Tri-County Adult Education offered a night class to teach adults to be electricians. I was the second person to try to sign up for the class, but was told that they had to cancel the class altogether because no one, except for me and one other person signed up. They too said they found this unusual. I wish I could take the lineman classes, but they're only available to the high school students. Oh, and as far as orientation to take college classes, just pay the school for the credit hours and attend the classes. You do not have to apply to the school hoping to be accepted, just give them some money, figure out where the classes meet, stop by the campus security to get your parking pass, and you're good to go. “Queen Sarah, save us from the Black Dog King!” - from the play, Dissocia [link to tasaonline.org.au (secure)] "Never be anyone's French poodle." - Mr Hamilton |

They ONLY have online registration due to Covid. Perhaps they cancelled orientation for the same reason. Maybe he was the ONLY one to show up because there wasn't orientation. There are 7,000 enrolled and 2,000 enrolled full time. Your story is not believable. |
