Should you consider Community College?
Ivy league schools are great if you can afford them and your grades are high,but did you know that over forty percent of all of America's undergraduates are receiving their higher education at community colleges? One main reason is that it is financially smart because tuition rates are far cheaper at community colleges. In some instances as much as fifty percent less than the cost of university tuition. There are also other benefits; in big cities there are usually a number of community colleges in your area to chose from which saves on traveling expenses. Many community colleges offer courses in cutting edge technical fields such as nuclear medicine, robotics, and computer aided design to name a few. Also, research proves that students who transfer from a community college do just as well throughout the rest of their academic career as do students who start at a four year university.
