Community college isn't equivalent to the schools being discussed here though. The point of the article is big, 4-year institutions, and the comment I was replying to specifically mentioned the state schools as being better than international universities.

Yup. I think part of the problem is that Americans group together "Universities", "Colleges" and "schools" as "schools". In the rest of the world you leave "school" after High School and make a conscious decision to go to a college or to university. It's pretty clear that they provide different syllabi.
