Community college is much less expensive than a university and isn't much different. One can start majoring in something in a community college and then transfer your credits to a university. Many people choose a university because they think that community college is only for those who can’t get into a university, but that is not true. Costs of tuition can vary anywhere from $2,000 all the way up to $100,000 per year for college in general. Community college is certainly the way to go when one is having money problems.
I also like to learn, my second reason to continue my education. In the society we are living in right now a higher education is a necessity and it is an investment for a better future. Steinberg argues that college degrees are not necessary for many jobs and that some high school graduates are better prepared by being taught how to communicate and work efficiently in the work place. I agree with it
Students who need extra intellectual attention, whether it addresses their difficulties or their talents, shouldn't have to wait for summer to receive it; that would be "no good." YRS allows students' special needs to be addressed throughout the entire year, rather than after it. The chance for acceleration, extended learning, or enrichment shouldn't have to wait nine months; giving talented students the chance to stretch their minds year-round is a wonderful opportunity. On the other end of the spectrum, students who are lacking in subjects, need academic tutoring, or need to "catch up" can receive assistance as a supplement to their regular education during year-round school. Many year-round schools provide enrichment or
Being organized will help you stay focus and use your time wisely. Last but not least it explains how important overcoming procrastination. Don’t be the student that always wait the day before an assignment is due to start on it. Work on things ahead of time will make college a lot
(Pros and Cons, 2012) For high school graduates, commuting from home appears to them as a disadvantage. The graduates who believe that to be a disadvantage ask themselves, am I too close to home? Or, do I feel like I am still in high school? Most community colleges do not provide housing for students. (MD, 2012) Instead, they gear toward the needs of commuter students.
America has been the home for numerous people and they feel the need to represent “their” country in many ways as possible. However, as they grow up they observe that they are limited to certain things including going to college. It is not because they are not intelligent or committed to education, it is simply because they do not have a legal status that provides the opportunity to apply for financial aid and in some cases college. During high school everyone starts planning their future, and one of the main focuses is getting into college. How would you feel if you find out that you cannot attend college?
Where was I going to attend school? Once I was approved for Financial Aid, I was informed that a community college was inexpensive compared to a university making the decision easy. Northeast State Community College, here I come! Not being the brightest person, I over packed my first semester with classes. That first semester was an emotional roller-coaster.
Ashley Isham Dawn Hubbell-Staeble GSW 1100/11:30 1 Nov 2012 Project 3: Arguing with Sources Service Learning; Effective or not? As college freshman, we don’t want to put on all the extra things all at once. We want time to breathe, relax, and have fun; Enjoy college life, isn’t that what it’s all about? Service Learning isn’t the first solution when it comes to thinking about having fun for most college students. People don’t think they will have the time to do it, and it will take time away from studying, but what if it’s part of the class?
Learning Against Grades In this society, students are encouraged to pursue a higher education after graduating from high school. Yet, each individual has a different reason for desiring to move on to college. Students attend college either because they want to increase their knowledge, get a decent paying job after college, or they just want to get the “college” experience instead of going on to the working force after high school. As a first-year college student, I pictured college to be a “… place for learning and growth…” (Jerry Faber, 387), but I was slightly wrong. Everyday I stress over earning a good grade in my classes, instead of being driven to learn the material of the course.
The lengthened summer vacation time provides opportunities such as getting a seasonal job or becoming an intern. Kids benefit from focusing on extracurricular activities like athletics and art rather than academics all year long. Things such as family time, jobs and traveling are just as important to a student’s development as being in school. There is no one size fits all solution. Clearly, some students would benefit from year round schooling and extended time in school, but more evidence leads toward the benefits an extended summer vacation.
