I just completed reading a recent article on why families should consider a community college. After reflecting on it I was motivated to blog some benefits of community colleges and why families should consider them in the student’s first and second year in college.
- The first one is obvious. The cost. Community colleges cost thousands of dollars less than a 4-year state university or private college.
- Second, over the years many states have produced excellent community colleges that allows students to take quality classes that will transfer to a 4-year school (as a Minnesotan, I am proud to say that we have some of the best community colleges in the nation).
- Third, by attending a community college, it allows many students you wish to be close to home to do so.
In summary, a community college should be a consideration for many families especially when the cost is a major factor.
