It seems that the proper way to go to college is doing 4 years at a University. This will give students one to two extra years to party, and one to two extra years to waste college savings. Although this isn’t always the case, spending the extra money is a waste. Community college has a bad rep, being the kind of school “low-life” anti-social students go to. It seems that community college is the route to go if students don’t have a choice, not so much the money issue.

Spending money is never truly an issue anymore. Based off the fact that the reason we don’t have money is because we spend it all on ourselves. Putting fourth the extra thousands of dollars for a University seems unrealistic for students who have never even had a steady job, or know what it’s like to pay for there own necessities. If a student has the money and the grades, then there is time for talk of going to a University

A strong perk to community schools is smaller class size. This allows more teacher/student interaction with one another. A strong perk for a University is its atmosphere. Nothing compares to the atmosphere of a college town, or watching your team win its 12th game in a row, riding towards a BCS championship spot.

Although both are strong, the community college option lets the student experience two kinds of atmospheres within a short span in there life. It gives students the power to cut school costs almost in half, in a great environment full of professionals with passion for their skill.

If students are looking to save money and not having to stress forever about spending money on school, go to community college for a 2 years. Community college will do a wallet a number of favors. If meeting new people and experiencing a crazy college atmosphere is the experience on the mind, go to a University and hand them a $45,000 check.
