Why is cheap school unacceptable to commenters here? Well, just look around... see anybody from community college at YC, other than the guy who sweeps the floor after demo day?
of this group, some people hate it just because they hate contributing money towards any government program, but others might have (reasonable imo) concerns for what kinds of majors they are paying for, whether their money will be spent efficiently, etc.
edit: maybe I misunderstood the point of your post; I thought you were talking about providing cheap school.
