Local colleges handle it acceptably. State/Federal do not. Technical colleges in my state are funded by their cities tax payers primarily. They routinely have a much better graduation and lower drop out rating, as well as a more positive experience among students than the average university here. Many people like to point to the universities not getting funding but I call bullshit on that. Most of them blow all their money on sports arenas/facilities or pointless garbage to nickle and dime students. They don't care about your education. They just wanna milk you.
