As the economy slips further into recession, some Nebraska residents are going back to school to learn how to manage in tough economic times.
Many of those students are passing up four-year institutions in favor of community colleges.
"It's affordable, quick and the classes are smaller," said Rob Kugler, a first year academic transfer student at Southeast Community College (SCC).
Kugler spent 18 months in Iraq and is just one of the new students studying at SCC.

There may be a law against drunken driving, but that hasn't stopped people from trying to find ways to get away with it.
Now a new product called AntiPoleez has entered the scene. So far, few people know much about it, but that doesn't stop many from opposing the idea.
How it Works 
AntiPoleez is a hard lozenge candy designed to mask the smell of alcohol on a person's breath.
The product's Web site guarantees that AntiPoleez will not only hide the smell of unwanted odors but will eliminate them completely, leaving no trace behind.

LOS ANGELES A group of college students are being blamed for sparking one of three wildfires that collectively destroyed about 1,000 homes and burned more than 65 square miles.
An anonymous tipster told police the students gathered a week ago near an abandoned home in the hills of Montecito, Santa Barbara County Sheriff Bill Brown said Tuesday.
They built a bonfire Wednesday night and left early Thursday morning without putting out the fire. By Thursday night, the winds took hold of it, and the seemingly harmless blaze went on to destroy 210 Santa Barbara homes, authorities said.
The students, aged between 18 and 22, thought they'd put the fire out before leaving. Fire officials did say it's not uncommon for fires to have the potential to re-ignite.
"It appears this fire was the result of carelessness, not criminal intent," said Brown, who added that the students all lived locally and attended the same school. He declined to say which one or identify the students.
Though Brown said there was no "malicious intent," the county district attorney will review the case and determine if criminal charges are filed.
