Why You Should Consider a Community College First

Posted by arief on 29th August and posted in College

Why You Should Consider a Community College First

Let’s face it. Community colleges don’t get the respect they deserve: They’re short in comparison to the tall ivy league colleges; they won’t ever make prom king or queen; and a community college will never be able to fit into its skinny jeans. So why should you still consider a community college first?

* For starters, community colleges are cheaper. Local taxpayers partly fund them, so students can get a cost-effective education, a higher paying job and contribute back into the community.

* Many community colleges have “rolling admissions.” What does that mean? That means you can be admitted and register during any semester. They even take last-minute admissions, assuming your paperwork is in order.

* Many community colleges also offer remedial courses like pre-algebra, English writing and grammar if a potential student has been out of school for a long time, or who didn’t make the honor roll in high school. Many universities and four-year public or private colleges don’t offer remedial courses.

* Didn’t take the SAT or ACT? No problem! You don’t need them to get into most community colleges. Their standards aren’t as rigorous as private or ivy-league colleges because most of them have an open-door policy. As long as you can produce a high-school diploma or GED, you’re in.

* If you’re an older student, you’ll be in good company because many older adults attend community colleges because of their flexible schedules like night and weekend classes.

* Smaller class sizes are a plus at most community colleges. Each student can get the attention that he or she deserves.

* Community colleges are convenient. Most people have them near their homes, so they are easy to get to

Students Making Difficult College Choices

Most students have come to expect an annual rise in tuition.  The cost of a college education can increase from 3.5 percent to 6.0 percent.  Increasing cost of energy and the struggle to compete with colleges that have large endowments is putting colleges out of reach for certain students.  Colleges are obligated to increase their level of security.  Parents expect a safe environment for students who are in urban and rural communities.  Many colleges are offering a wide range of transportation options for students.  Some colleges are establishing contracts with transportation companies who will manage on-campus buses and schedules.  Students can feel safe traveling from the main campus to local residents in their community.

                                     

The changing economy is putting new demands on college budgets. Students are applying to five colleges to increase their chances of getting admitted and to identify the least expensive college.  Colleges are facing challenges in terms of reaching their enrollment goals because students are not making a firm decision right away.  Students need to have options when they consider the cost of earning a four year degree.  Students must consider the cost of travel to colleges that are far away.  This can lead to an inability to travel home frequently.

 

Colleges are obligated to meet the requirements of the accrediting agencies that approve their curriculum. Some college presidents are increasing the number of professors and research activities to ensure that their college is reaccredited.  Additional research can require millions of dollars in an institution’s resources.  Students will not enroll in
