What is the British equivalent to an american community college? In the sense of affordable schooling and fairly open enrollment.

back in the day they were called polytechnics now they're just called colleges and are full of drop outs during the day and adults at night.

if you have to pay for schooling in Britain then its got to be a private setup. Im not sure what u mean by faily open enrollment tho.
i go to a norma secondary school.. with a sixth form called a community coolege. ages 11-16 compulsory and then 16-18 in sixth form. we dont have to pay because its run by the government and if you live in the area then you'll get in basically.
sixth form is where 16-18year olds do their furhter education but still as part of a school, but we can also do this a t a separae college which is exclusively for 16+ ages, so u dont get rowdy kids messin about everyhwere all the time.

Many secondary schools are now called community colleges so they are accessible and affordable as well as having a wider remit in terms of access by more people in the community to the resource.

A college of Further Education. They are few and far between now though, thanks to Mrs Thatcher.
