Should College Be A High School?

Benefits of attending a community college as opposed to a traditional university tend to be overlooked by potential students. They are either unaware of its advantages or do not fully understand how this type of education can benefit their cause. Year after year large amounts of students choose to go straight from high school and in to four-year universities. The problem with this particular situations is that universities in general tend to have 50-400 students in one

Many students who may not have the best grades or have the top act score can find it hard to get into many of the schools they dreamt about going to but starting out at the community college level allows you to get your foot in the door with school , and allows you to become a stronger student. “That is the understanding- that you will grow a little bit with your first English Class, a bit more with your first psychology class, a whole lot more with your first biology class, physic, and chemistry.” While attending the local community college grow as a student and a learner so when the times come to transfer a stronger student is entering that

Some of you go to college go to play a sport for that college, in which case you would go to a University. At the time of graduation you are usually around 17 to 19, at this point in your life you have to think if you are ready to move out of your parents house and be on your own, and many do, again you would choose a University. There are some of you who want to stay under mom and dad’s roof and just want to go to college to see what living by yourself is like, to see if you will like it. In this case you would choose a Community college. For some this can be one of the harder decisions to make. Another difference of a University and Community college is the size. Not just the size of the campus, but the size of the classes and workload that you will be facing. With a University you have a large campus with numerous class buildings and dorms. At a Community college you will usually have only one building and all that this building contains is classrooms for learning. Sizes of most University classes are over 30 of you to a class; sometimes that number can be as high as 100 students to a class. When you are a student at a Community college you are usually one out of twenty. The most you will probably find in a classroom of a Community college will be around thirty.

Choosing a college means going to a new, unfamiliar world of immense possibilities. One of the hardest decisions a high school graduate face is the choice between attending a Community College or a University. Although Universities and Community College serve the same purpose, each has its differences and similarities in their learning such as the admission requirements, expenses, size, and student life. Community College are the most common type of two-year College that prepares you to continue your education, are often an affordable and convenient option. Universities you can earn Bachelor’s, Master’s and Doctoral degrees which is more expensive. At a University, you can

Attending a community college has several benefits such as the low tuition and book fees, smaller classes, and experienced teachers at an affordable cost. In this two year period students also have the time to mature and get serious about their career before they get into the four year institution

One of the biggest decisions a student has to make is deciding the college they should choose, a university or a community college? At the end of their high school years, a student must decide what college would be best for them. If they are fortunate enough not to have to go to work and wait to go to college, then they must make a decision. There are many advantages and benefits of attending a community college. Students should carefully weigh the advantages of each college, as there are many pros and cons of both. As both of them provide a number of choices, it makes a student's decision very exhausting whether a community college or university best fits them. As there are many advantages attending a community college, tuition is a big factor, as it is only a fraction of that at a university which makes it much better to choose a community college to begin your college career.

As a senior in high school the time has come when people begin to ask big and sometimes overwhelming questions like, “Where are you going to college?” and “What will be your major?” These questions, of course, lead to college visits and decisions. The two colleges that seem to meet my criteria are The University of Findlay and Ohio Dominican University. Both colleges have positive aspects, such as having the major that I am interested in as well as being close to family.  However, The University of Findlay seems to be a better fit than Ohio Dominican because it is closer to home and I am familiar with the campus and I grew up on this campus.

Deciding whether to attend a community college or university can be a difficult decision for students especially high school seniors and fresh high school graduates. After graduating from high school, the next step in the academic journey is to attend a college or a university. Before I got into college, I wanted to attend a university. I never considered attending a community college because I considered it irrelevant and less rewarding than a university. Now I have a different view about community colleges and I can clearly point out the major difference between a community college and a university. A community college is a two year college which offers two or three year courses and award associate degrees and certificates. Most community colleges are linked with certain universities which makes it easier for students to transfer. My decision to attend a community was strongly influenced by Cost, easy transition to university, and the need to balance school, work, and social life.

Making the final college choice is a difficult decision for a student and his or her family. The final decision needs to be a balance between value and opportunity. I want to get the best opportunity for the best deal. This could be a better academic program in my major, more rigorous academics overall, a better location, internships, and a safer campus.

During my senior year of high school, I made the decision to attend the local community college while my friends and classmates choose to attend state colleges and big universities. I wanted to attend a small college, because I came from a small town. It was also cheaper for me to attend a community college and commute from home to school. In High school I wondered if I was making the right decision. I had a lot of people tell me I should go to a state college or university instead of a community college, because I wouldn't get the "college experience." Now into my sophomore year of college at Northeast Community College, I believe choosing a community college was one of the best decisions I ever made. This college has provided me with a number

As seniors in high school, our minds are all about graduation and what the next step in our lives are going to be. Many students plan on going to college after they graduate; however, deciding what college to go to is one of the hardest decisions most seniors have to make. I have narrowed it down to two colleges, The University of Illinois and Southern Illinois University. After close examination of the factors of the history of the school, admission, tuition, campus, and academics, I decided rather then going to The University of Illinois I should attend Southern Illinois University.

First, Saving money is a top priority. Going to Community College saves students money, but it doesn’t mean students will be paying a tiny small portion. It

Should there still be colleges and schools just for men/boys and some just for women/girls? School years always have a significant influence on a youth’s values and cognitive development. At their early stage, youths need recognition, self-confidence, and motivation; having a healthy learning environment is extremely important for their growth. In today’s society, most of the schools provide mixed-sex education; however, there is a common phenomenon that few co -educational schools value girls’ participation and achievements. My nephew who studies at a private school remarked recently that his male classmates are really active in math class and those girls have little chance to answer the question even they know the answer. More than that, in his computer science class, there were just 3 girls among 25 boys. When I asked him why was that, he answered that computer science was simply a subject for boys. It seems that even in one of the best co-ed schools, girls have less opportunity to celebrate their achievements and have to struggle to make their voices heard amongst active boys. When sitting in the same classroom, reading the same text, listening to the same instructor, males and females receive very different treatments, which decrease females’ learning effectiveness. In a single-sex school, no one thinks that courses have gender: Computer Science is open to all of the girls; it is not unseemly for a female to imagine herself as a programmer, entrepreneur, or president.

“What will you choose?”. That is the million dollar question isn’t it? But not every senior has the million-dollar answer. It is a simple, innocent question but always seems to precede a complicated response. Many consider this the most difficult decision of their young lives. To decide the career path for the rest of their lives, much less a college, can nearly fry someone’s brain. There are always a myriad of suggestions from parents, teachers, and friends who all seem to know what is ‘best’. This is the first decision in which the senior gets to make on their own and start making their own path in the world. Even though all colleges might seem the same before senior year, the pros and cons can be outstanding. Ohio Northern University is

Senior year in high school is the time we finally approach the first look at college applications. For many, it may be simple, for others it may not. Some of us have had our lives planned out earlier than others. others may see it as a scary lifelong decision to be made when choosing a major. One way students make their decision by planning ahead and seeing the actual potential available within a major.
