When you graduate high school you have your choice of what kind of an education you want to get. You have your choice of going to a 4-year university, or a 2-year college. In order to decide you will compare the two and use the comparisons to come up with your final decision. Questions to ask yourself would be, what are you looking for in college, how do you want to learn, and how much money do you have to work with. Comparing University and Community college the first thing that comes to mind is the difference in price. Certain Universities are more expensive than others. The difference in price is because of the difference in price and size, also because of the difference in the educational program they have. The price for a University can also differ with whether or not you are going to live there. With a Community college the price will differ significantly. The difference in price strands for the difference in size, teaching and living.
Then there is always the size of the workload. When you go to a University you are usually expected to have to spend about 3 to 4 hours out of the classroom on your work, and that is for each class. That is why a large number of you that attend a University do not have jobs and if they do it is only part time. When attending a Community college you are expected to spend about 2 hours of time on work outside of the classroom, for each class. It may not seem as that much of a difference, but it is when a full course load at a University is 5 classes and a full class load at a Community school is 4 classes. Most of you who attend Community college have part or full time jobs. As you can see there are many differences when comparing University to Community college. It all depends on what you want out of college and what you can afford. For most there is one difference that is more significant then the other, that difference is usually what makes or breaks your decision. <
