I come from somewhere that just has colleges and that’s it. What even is a community college?
In: Other
Since many four-year colleges or universities often require you to complete generals courses (English, Writing, Math/Algebra, Science, etc.) but tend to cost a lot more, a community college offers the ability to get these types of courses done and perhaps some of your actual major as well within two years. It ends up with you getting an Associate’s. You can get both an Associate’s and Bachelor’s (four years) at a regular college/university by going there all four years, but again, it usually costs a lot more among a few others personal reasons why someone might choose a smaller college over a larger one. Some people also prefer the smaller classes to the hundred people lecture halls that a university might have in some cases. As well as community colleges offering programs like certifications and whatnot for those who aren’t seeking a full degree for a lower cost than at a university. Community colleges work by allowing those who live locally to attend with in-state tuition costs. If you are out of state, unless you have special circumstances like being previous military, you would have to pay the out-of-state tuition. Which in that case, you may as well attend a regular university if it’s close to the same cost.
