I have heard its amazing,but my dad still wants me to go to an Ivy League, like Yale or Harvard. I really don't want too! How can I prove to him that CC is good?

There are only two schools in the nation with a "block" plan. Cornell COLLEGE in Iowa and Colorado College. It's intensive learning. One class for 3.5 weeks. Then about a 4 day break. You have to really study, read, write for those 17 days. But the best part is you only have to concentrate fully on one class, not 4 or 5. I went to Cornell College and I loved it, no juggling 8 different books. It really keeps your mind focused. Expect about 3-6 hours of homework a night. What we all did was finish up homework after class and then go party at night (OK, some of us wrote papers at 3 a.m.) ;)
Tell him how intensive it is. Say you take sociology or English. You will live, breathe, and sleep it for 17 days. That's why they give you block break for four days. Then you're back at it.
I personally loved it.

Tell your dad that your grammar and spelling aren't good enough to go to an Ivy League school.
(Sorry, couldn't resist.)
