For a long time, I have been a proponent more students and families should consider community colleges for a number of good reasons given our firms experience with college financial aid. For example, if a family cannot afford a 4-year state university or private college in the beginning, a community college will allow the student to obtain their valuable credits at an affordable cost that will transfer to their 2nd or 3rd year at a four-year college. Another good one is the fact that the quality of an education at a community college has risen over the years across the US. Also, depending on what career choice the student is pursuing, an associate degree for many will be adequate to secure a good job and future.
