There are more than 1200 community colleges in the United States, and more than10 million students apply for registration. The average age of students in community colleges is 29 years old, and 40% of them are under 2 1 year old, and college students over 60 are also common. Among them, 60% students study while working. Only a few community colleges provide students with extra dormitories. 38% of the funding of community colleges comes from the district government, and the training fee income accounts for about 20%, nearly 20% comes from the local government, and the rest is supplemented by its own funds in other ways.
The average annual training fee of community colleges is more than 2000 dollars, while the average annual training fee of general public universities is close to 6000 dollars, and the tuition fee of community colleges is less than half of that of public universities. It is worth mentioning that if students attend a community college, the college is closer to home and the accommodation fee can be saved a lot.
What are the advantages of studying in American community colleges? 1. A shortcut to a famous American school
Graduates from community colleges can transfer to top universities to complete their bachelor's degree certificates. Many foreign students who graduated from community colleges transferred to Washington, Michigan, Wisconsin, Texas, Southern California and the University of California. Most American universities accept the "2+2" system software transferred from community colleges.
2. Super oral English course
Students who need to improve their English can benefit from excellent ESL courses in community colleges. ESL students in community colleges can easily be promoted to the content of academic research courses in universities without TOEFL scores.
3. Open admission
Compared with universities, community colleges generally have a fast and relatively easy enrollment process. Most colleges and universities can only enroll foreign students once a year, while community colleges generally enroll students every academic year, and some can enroll students four times a year.
4. Short bidding time.
Most community colleges allow ESL students to read academic research courses carefully without TOEFL scores. On the contrary, colleges and universities often need students' TOEFL scores to be between 550 and 600. It takes about half a year or even longer for large and medium-sized colleges and universities to apply for classes. If you want to apply for a scholarship, you usually have to apply one year in advance. In community colleges, it usually takes less than half the time.
5, the most direct application of government departments.
Higher vocational education in the United States has a very high global reputation in terms of education quality, and so do community colleges in the United States. 85% of community colleges in the United States are public colleges. The financial support of community colleges mainly comes from government public taxes, and is strongly supported by American government departments, district governments, local businesses and communities. Naturally, some non-public community colleges will have an excellent side in their respective technical majors, course contents, teaching staff and services.
6. The secured assets of the loan for studying abroad are low.
In the process of visa registration in the United States, the relative assets of overseas study loans for American community colleges are lower than those of American universities because of their low tuition fees.
7. Visa processing also has the same opportunities.
The American government treats the admission notices of key universities and community colleges equally. As long as the student visa information, interactive question and answer and study plan admitted by the community college are valid, you can get a one-time visa in the United States.
