I come from somewhere that just has colleges and that’s it. What even is a community college?
In: Other
Community colleges/CCs typically offer more 2 year degrees, certificates and certifications with little to no dormitories at a tenth or less the cost of typical colleges. The quality of the teachers are usually on par with regular colleges but usually they start at a jr or community college before regular colleges, so the quality of teachers at CCs usually are brought down a little. CCs usually offer more evening/night time classes as well which will appeal to more non young adults, so the age range at CCs are usually a bit more diverse.
If price or timing is a factor, it’s usually better to start at a CC and then move on to a more well-known or prestigious college afterwards since your degree won’t say “did 3.5 years at XYZ CC and then 1 semester at ABC University” but rather “degree awarded from ABC University”
