It depends on the college. For my first semester I atteneded a community college which had dorms, athletic teams, several clubs…etc. and basically it was very much like a foru year school. I am now attending a newer community college and we don’t have dorms, or athletic teams and clubs come and go each semester. It also depends on what you’re looking for in a college. You’d have to do your research on community colleges in your area and see what they offer. I would recommed doing a two year degree program at a community college first and then transfering to a four year school, because then you’ll have more expereience and you’ll also have your freshman/sophmore years of studying out of the way. But that all depends on what sort of degree and field of study you plan on going into. The community college I am currently attending is nothing like the steryotypical extension of high school and most people on campus study very hard. We have a lot of speakers and events and some good clubs which have stood the test of time, it’s just the matter of getting involved.

I generally hear people say that community college is like an extension of high school. Everyone is a commuter, and there is not very much going on other than classes, so everyone goes home right after class. State universities are different, because more people live on campus, and fewer people live at home with their families. There is also usually much more activity going on on campus – speakers, events, etc. It is a very different environment. Of course, if you plan on going for a bachelor’s degree, you could spend two years at a community college and experience college life after you transfer.

college life is just college life……exactly same everywhere

only academic courses vary
