In this episode, Lisa and Stephanie discuss:
- Reasons your student might consider community college instead of or before transitioning to a 4-year university.
- Advantages of a community college and reasons your student should invest time in a visit to the campus.
- Differences between community colleges, regional campuses, and technical colleges.
- The correct verbiage you need to ask the right questions of the colleges and universities your student is looking into.
Key Takeaways:
- Community colleges are not lesser colleges. They are, however, tailored to the community that the school is in.
- Community colleges are 2-year colleges, and the credits earned transfer to 4-year colleges. Your student will want research to ensure the community college will support their desired career path, as it may not be the case for all future majors.
- Career and technical degrees are not lesser degrees. Your student would be learning their livelihood in 2 years and can make a great living in those jobs.
- There are many organizations your student can engage with at community colleges. Regardless of the size of the school, there are engagement and scholarship opportunities that are often overlooked.
“You are welcome on the community college campus. There are people there waiting to answer your questions. Don’t be shy, don’t be scared - step on campus, find an office, and they will direct you to the right place to get your questions answered. It might change your life.” – Stephanie Duguid
