Abstract	A nationwide discussion that is currently taking place related to student loan debt; a number of presidential candidates are discussing ideas for student loan forgiveness. Some states have offered free community college as a possible solution. Free community college would allow students to save money for two years before transferring to a four-year university. Living at home for the first two years of college would also add to students' and families' savings. This idea has the potential to help many students and families meet college costs and lower student debt. For this idea to have maximum impact, community colleges' daily operations need to be enhanced. Numerous articles have been written about how traditional student success metrics are not properly considering community college dynamics. Common examples include some students not being academically prepared, part-time versus full-time trends, student desires, and the academic goals of students who just want to complete a course, not a degree. While these are valid, this article considers some additional realities. (ERIC).
