Average 4-year private school would cost 200k, if not more if you're going to any private T100. Average person in this community also wouldn't go to CC.

Why wouldn't an average person in this community go to a CC?

I understand there's some stigma for community colleges but you can get a great education without getting anywhere near 200K. Won't be Ivy League though.

For example, Stony Brooks costs 10K in tuition per year for in-state residents.

Stony Brook isn't a community college. It is a 4 year university. I do agree though that there are many great universities where you can get an education for a fraction of the $200k bill that top private colleges have.
