What is the difference between community and city colleges?

Answer 1

A community college is a college in which ANYONE can get into; hence the keyword "community". You don't have to take SATs, have a high GPA, or even graduate high school to get in. All you really have to do is submit an application for admission, pay appropriate fees (which are VERY cheap), pick and register for your classes, and that's it! Community colleges serve the community which is another reason for the keyword. There are several benefits that community colleges serve. One benefit is that anyone who wishes to learn a specific trade, such as learning to become an auto mechanic or air conditioner technician can usually find certificate programs at community colleges so they can either start their own business or work for a company. Another one is that they let people who weren't able to get into universities when they applied for them in high school allows them to get their start in community college. Instead of starting at the university they take the classes they would have taken at the university and instead take them at the community college and then transfer their community college credits usually at the end of their sophomore year to the university so they can take their upper division courses in order to complete the major of their choosing. Usually the courses that they take at the community college will be of the major that they chose. Also, for anyone who can't afford a university at time of graduation or don't want to end up paying off a huge student loan upon graduation will usually start at a community college to offset possible huge university costs for the first two years. Also, anyone who just wants to learn new stuff can take community college courses just for fun, they just opt for "exploratory purposes" on the admission application.

It is important to note, that MANY classes at community college have required classes, or test scores. While it is generally true that anyone can take a class, there are usually requirements in order to ENROLL in the school. Most community colleges are far more selective than the above responder alludes to.

Many individuals start at the community college level for a variety of reasons to include:

• Community colleges are less expensive to start out with. You can cut the cost of a four year degree almost in half by starting at a community college first, and then transferring to four year college or university to finish up the last two years.
• There are typically smaller classroom sizes at the community college with a better professor to student ratio, which means more individualized attention.
• Some students do not meet the entrance requirements of the four year college or university, thus they start at the community college first, then transfer later.
• The community colleges are typically more family oriented, with a strong sense of community.
• Some students like to be close to home, thus they start at their home county community college.
• Some careers only require an associate's degree.
