Community college often gets dismissed as a lesser option for pursuing your education beyond high school, but that assumption is totally wrong. Here are my top four reasons that prove community college is an awesome place to be.
1. You save tons of money
When I went to community college a few years ago my tuition for the year was about $10,000. That sure beats paying BU’s $65,000 for four years.
2. You get to live at home
Although you have to constantly tell your parents where you’re going and with whom, the fact you’re able to sleep in your comfy bed rather than squeezing into a twin size bed is a real plus. You also get home cooked meals and time to cuddle with your dog. Wait, why did I move to school again?
3. Community college is much easier than BU
Basically, community college is another two years of high school with more people and different teachers. My GPA was better in community college than it was in high school actually, but now that I transferred to BU I try not to even look at my GPA.
4. Visiting friends at school became a monthly vacation
Being able to take a break, escape your house, and get a car full of your closest pals to visit some of your fav friends for the weekend was the highlight of my community college career. Getting to see my friends and party with them at their school without needing to pay tuition was the best.
