About 65 percent of high school graduates enroll in some form of college. However, the place they earn that degree from seems to be a huge factor in the way people see them.

Attending community college has become more and more dissatisfying to some people. There is a growing amount of arrogance coming from those attending universities and state colleges.

Those who attend community college are simply making the choice to explore their future aspirations in a less expensive manner.

People think that those who attend community college do not value their education and do not want to gain “a real degree.” The issue lies in the thought that community college is a permanent endeavor.

After completing their prerequisites in two years at community college students can transfer to a university or state college.

After transferring, students acquire the exact same degree as those who attended the university for four years.

By going to a community college, students are able to pay less in student loans and housing. Most students will live at home while attending community college, allowing them to have free cable, laundry, home cooking, among other perks of home.

Another stereotype is that only students from low-income backgrounds attend community college. Students from many different backgrounds attend community college, simply to set themselves up for a brighter future with less debt.

Community colleges offer many programs at a faster pace, which allows students to gain their education and find a paying job more quickly.

It also allows students to explore their major before committing the rest of their career to it.

There are a multitude of advantages to attending a community college. Yet, when a student decides this to be their next step, some people believe it to be poor and misleading decision.

This negative stereotype lies with people’s inability to see how community college yield many benefits to students and to their future.
