About community college...?

Community colleges advertise more than university to get more students.


Why do the community colleges want many students?


Is it much profitable to them?


There are so many methods for school to get money, but community colleges usually do their best to attract more students.


They don't care seriously about students' high school GPA.


Why do that??


If the community colleges get more students, the government help them?

About community college...?
Community Colleges (also called Junior College or Two-Year Colleges) started in the U.S. about the same time as the Open Universities started in the U.K. Their basic philosophies are the same: Sometimes very talented individuals have not had adequate academic and educational opportunities to succeed at a traditional four-year university. So, community colleges are tailored to be a good fit for the communities they serve.





Generally, community colleges have open enrollment, which means anyone who wants can take courses. This does not mean that the courses are not rigorous, it simply means that the courses are available. The tuition at community colleges is generally lower than their four-year counterparts. Most community colleges have lower operating expenses than their four-year counterparts, and may be funded in part with local and state monies. Community colleges are eligible for federal monies as well, especially Title IV Federal Student Aid (e.g., the Pell Grant).





Here is an example of the role of the community college. A community may be very distant from a four-year college. Students from impoverished backgrounds can attend college at the community college while living at home. After completing the two years, they can transfer to the four-year college where the tuition and cost of living are higher.
Reply:Hi,, Community Colleges are not supplemented by the Federal dollars like Universities are,, and they do not get the Grants that the Universities do,,,





Community College is to help people get their carriers in order and basic classes out of the way,,,,,, before finishing in a University.....





hope this helps,,,


good luck
Reply:I think your right, the government helps community colleges. I know the local government raises taxes for them, and I suppose the more students they have, the more money they can justify asking for.\


Here is one link that delves into the topic.

Reply:the community college is the cheapest means to get the first two years of college at a decent price. many attend them for that. most are tax supported by the local residents and thus the costs of attending are about 1/3 to 1/2 the four year college. it is also the only way a student can get into the four year college. his high school grades may have been to low, his college entrance exam score far to low aned the location may allow him to find reasonable living costs. additionally, he or she may have to hold a full time or part time job which would be harder to do inb a four year university. anoother is the availability to take courses for the fun of it, rather than as a necessity, especially for those who go back to school many years after having been narried and raised a family.community colleges systems are just that, community. they aren't operated for private or state fuynded systems and may have just one cqampus, or several in a community with differing course areas based on what they can offer. one area may be available in one campus, another at another campus, but most coyurses caqn be transferred to a four year school and are nothing less than a cost saving measure when getting a degree.
