Tight on Money $ ?
-Well if your a high school senior and you do not have a job didn't apply for many scholarships/or received enough then how are you going to pay for your schooling? Having to pay for your own education can be an overwhelming thought when you a high school senior. But if you truly want to attend a University but you are just not able to pay for it, if your not eligible to receive enough financial aid, scholarships or do not want to be taking out loans then community college is for you. You save a ton of money and it was always a great beginning to reach your pursuit for higher education.
Unsure if a four year is for you?
- If you feel during your senior year unsure with what you plan to do with life after high school then community college is a great stepping stone. Not many students can handle the heavy workload Universities tend to have for the students. Being a university student means you must become an independent adult in a matter of two months max. Some students can not handle the overwhelming pressure to grow up and begin to think and work for themselves.
What type of major to pursue?
- Because Universities are becoming so competitive now a days, they require you to have an idea in what you plan to major in. Many students are undeclared because they still haven't found what there passion is. And if your a university student exploring the variety of classes that your school offers then maybe it wasn't the best idea to enter straight into a four-year. So that's why it is good to think ahead and try out different fields of study before you find the right one.
High School career wasn't good enough or to your best ability...
-Many students tend to not focus as much in High School and choose to mess around. Well that isn't the best plan out there because it just means falling behind and later having to pay the price your senior year and re-taking classes that you failed in. Because of these choices you weren't granted the choice to apply to a four year. But registering to a CC it allows you to improve you work ethic and it enables you to later transfer with an outstanding G.P.A. because you were able to focus more on your academics.
