I come from somewhere that just has colleges and that’s it. What even is a community college?
In: Other
Community colleges are often attended by people who live nearby (hence ‘community’). A lot of community college campuses— not all (I believe?)— have no on-site dormitories, as it was predominantly designed to be commuted to by those nearby.
Regular colleges (State, Private, etc.) differ in that they will typically seek to attract out of state students because of how they are funded. I don’t know enough about college funding to state specifics, but I would assume community colleges are funded by their specific state or county, and state/private colleges rely more on government funding, alumni donations, and revenue.
