Two-year community or junior colleges offer you an associate degree after two years of full-time study. Four out of ten graduating high school seniors start their college careers at a community college.
Attending a community college has lots of advantages:
- Tuition and fees at community colleges are less expensive than four-year colleges
- Community colleges are good places to explore fields that interest you before committing to a major.
- Since many places have community colleges nearby, you can save money by living at home.
