Community College Disadvantages
While there are many different
benefits that can be associated with going to a community college there are a
few negatives I would not make the mistake of not mentioning. We all like to
look at the positive side of things and the good in my opinion of public
colleges, at least as a basis for studying university is the worst of the
worst. However, if you look at a community college as a way to choose whether
it is for graduates only or if you have plans to move on to university level
when you graduate you should see a bigger picture and not just sunlight and
flowers.
The
first thing you need to be aware of, and this applies especially to those
students who have transfer plans, is that you should always contact the college
you intend to attend next to make sure that the courses you are taking are at
community college level. they are in line with the basic needs of the
university. In most cases they are similar enough to be considered compatible
but there are exceptions and it is better to get this sooner than later. If you
are planning to go to a university near the community college you are attending
you should check and see if they have some kind of speech contract that will
allow associate's degree graduates to go on without stitching.
Many
states are enacting and enacting laws that require colleges in their respective
provinces to accept public loans as transfer credits in an effort to retain
qualified government employees. Some universities even offer degree programs
for graduates to allow for access to students living away from the campus in
order to access previously denied educational opportunities. Of course if you
live in one of these provinces, the past corruption may now work for you.
Many
community colleges do not provide housing opportunities and most of what they
do is still pedestrian campuses rather than residential areas. Instead of
spending money on housing, these colleges often save money to finance their
education projects. Community colleges in rural areas are more likely to offer
housing on campuses than in urban areas. The lack of on-campus housing makes
participation in sports and other activities more difficult than in naturally
occurring colleges.
If
you decide to make public college your last resort when it comes to your own
academic experience you will be depriving yourself of a great opportunity to
lead for the rest of your life. For this reason you should think carefully
about the benefits that university transfers will bring to your educational goals.
My
biggest complaint when it comes to public colleges compared to major
universities was that there were fewer opportunities to study certain classes
compared to those classes at university level. You will find that you have to
stay within your curriculum at community college level or you risk needing an
extra semester or year to complete your graduate degree requirements.
Universities tend to offer great flexibility, especially in the basic courses
that everyone needs to succeed.
One
of my biggest complaints when it comes to public college is the fact that they
often have very small libraries than universities. This greatly reduces
students' ability to do extensive research without exceptional cases.
Universities already have deeper pockets than a regular public college. For
this reason they will have larger libraries and equipment and whistles in
addition to the regular community college. We hope to see this change in time.
Despite the disadvantages that may be associated with public college education,
I feel that it far outweighs the benefits offered by a community college
education.
