I went to a real university and I had two professors who I'm sure never lectured sober.

It's a bit less forgiveable at a for-profit where there's (I assume?) no tenure, and those professors are fire-able.

I went to community college and did well enough to get into a real university( University of Florida). The biggest shock of my life was that in most cases my community college teachers were superior to the processors at Florida.

My experience is the same -- all but one of the best professors I had in university were from a community college.

I had a chemistry professor that refused to go easy on us because, "I might have to work with some of you one day." As teaching was his night job.
