What are the benefits of a two year college versus a four year college?

Answer 1

Assuming you plan to finish your degree at a four-year college even if you start out at a two-year college (most employers don't accept an AA degree as if you had finished college), the major advantages are that a 2-year college is cheaper and that if you came to college unprepared, or if you need some time to mature before throwing yourself into the college experience, they are better organized to handle that. The disadvantages are that you won't start with most other people and will have to find a way of fitting into a four-year college midstream, once everyone already knows one another, and that you have less time to develop relationships with your professors and to become known (I know that my best two students recently were community college transfers, and while they were outstanding students and really nice people, they missed out on a lot of opportunities just because no one know them until they were ready to graduate.

Answer 2

I'm 22 years old and I started out college at the age of 17 in a 4 year university. the classes were harder, more expense, and the teachers didn't care about the students. I have been at a 2 year community college for 3 years now (b/c i am obtaining 4 degrees) and its more affordable, the classes are more laid back and they don't contain a bunch of crap information, and the teachers really care about your future. if you haven't started college yet, but are seeking a bachelor degree or higher, your best bet is to take all your general classes at a community college or even obtain an associates degree before transfering to a 4 year school. you'll save tons of money! if you need anything else feel free to email me
