what the diff between private colleges /Community College and puplic

Answer 1

Stay away from private.
Check into University of Arizona or Arizona State University.

Answer 2

Arizona State is a very good university - I've had relatives go there.

Private schools are not state-operated and cost a whole lot more. Private schools are most of the time smaller than Public schools.

Community Colleges are institutions who give you an Associate's Degree in 2 years. Although they're good schools, it's best to go to a 4 year school, or transfer to one after graduating from a community college.

Public colleges are usually pretty large, but it depends on the area that the college is located. They're a lot cheaper, and since you're transferring, it would give you a broad option of newer people to meet, and possibly people from the same region that you're from.

Arizona's pretty hot, though. So if you like hot weather, it's the perfect place for you. ;) I have relatives who live there...it's very pretty.

Answer 3

Community colleges are typically two year colleges that prepare you to either take a job that requires a two year degree or move onto a four year college for the final two years. If you want a four year degree, it is important to know which colleges accept students from the community college you would be attending. At my local community college everyone who applies is accepted.

A public school is funded by the state. Students are classified into two groups - in state students who have resided in the state and out of state students who are charged substantially more money. Sometimes you can be considered an in-state student if you and your family have resided in-state for as little as a year. If your family is not with you, you may have a more difficult time proving you are a resident of the state. Admission to most public schools is often not very selective, although the few state schools at the top like UC-Berkeley are extremely difficult to get into.

Private schools tend to cost more money as they are not funded by the state. Although their sticker price is higher than a state school, every now and then they hand out scholarships that offset this difference. They tend to give more grants and loans than scholarships. There are more competitive private schools than there are competitive state schools, but there are also many private schools that are not difficult to get into. On whole, private schools are considered more expensive and of better quality.

I can be opinionated when it comes to educational issues, so if someone disagrees with me, they could very well have a more accurate take on the subject.

Answer 4

A private college sets their own rules for academic requirements, education schedule, etc...

A public college adheres to rules of the state it is in and is therefore run with a broad scope of rules.

A community college is almost always public and is only a two year education. It is the first two years, the required english, math, etc... courses and then they offer certificate courses that may help someone get into a specialezed field that would only need a year or two of school. A community college is a great stepping stone to the university level.

Answer 5

the difference between public-private and community is...
public- is run and financially handled by the state
community- is run and handled by a county normally
private- is run by that private organization

private-more expensive, smaller class sizes, more hands on learning
public- state university, larger classes, more people
community- lesser education, least expensive, not great college atmosphere.

For business and finance, i would recommend a state or private school. Do not go Devry or Pheonix, these are primarely online universities and waste time and money.. (not the experience you are looking for)
Univserity of Arizona is amazing atmosphere if your lookin for the classic college lifestyle, if your looking for a great eduction i would look into some of the private colleges. which also can offer great college lifestyles as well.. do your research, but i would stick public, cant go wrong with state or universities that are well established..

Answer 6

Community colleges offer two year, associates degrees. They are public colleges - supported by the state. So you'll get a tuition discount if you are a resident of that state. Their goal is to prepare you to either enter a trade directly upon graduation, or else to transfer to a four year, bachelor's degree granting school.

Public colleges/universities offer four year, bachelor's degrees. They may also offer Master's and PhD degrees. They are public, so they are supported by the state. You'll get a tuition discount if you are a resident of that state.

Private colleges/universities offer associates and/or bachelor's degrees, depending on the school. Some also offer Masters and PhDs. They are not supported by the state, so the tuition tends to be higher than for a public university of the same quality.

In general, in terms of quality of education, there's often no difference between a public university and a private university of the same academic and reputation level.

Answer 7

I would recamend taking the first two years at a community college, you will save money and at the end you will receive an associate Arts/ Science degree.Four year schools can be divided by prestige, a degree from a prestigious school is held in higher regard than from a local school nobody ever heard of. This is not a valid assumption. I would visit the school and the instructors in your chosen degree field and use that as a bench mark.
