What does American community college mean and what is its specific nature?
American community college is a two-year short-term university operated by the state or citizens in the United States, which provides direct employment education after entering a four-year university or vocational training course. It is equivalent to a junior college in China. American community college is a two-year university, which generally lays the foundation for a formal four-year university. Community colleges are basically public and have strong regional characteristics. For example, a Colorado student may choose to attend a local community college for two years after graduating from high school and then transfer to a four-year university in Colorado.

In addition, community colleges do play a similar role to junior colleges in China. For students who no longer continue their studies, community colleges will also issue corresponding professional or technical qualification certificates.

Why China people consider community colleges;

1, the tuition is cheap, which can save a lot of money for students with poor family conditions.

2. There are good teaching channels. As long as the average score of children is high enough, it is easy to transfer to other public universities in the state.

3. The teaching quality is not bad, and it is also a small class teaching.

4. Many students who are not very good at languages may have spent 65,438+0 years learning languages in four-year universities. Actually, it's a pity. It is better to go directly to the community college and take some credits while learning the language.
