Do most colleges expect or require community service to be considered for admission?

Well, community service is not required by colleges, but it will make your application look better than someone else's. The amount of hours you should do depends on the college you want to go to. Junior colleges hardly need any, while more selective colleges like Ivy league Universities may be looking for those who have done 100+ hours a year. It all depends on how selective each college is. The more selective, the more competitive it is. Just keep in mind that more community service hours won't hurt.

One of the major differences is PRICE. Most community colleges cost half the tuition of Universities. You can still take the same college level courses at a community college and transfer them to a University. Also, community colleges are 2 year institutions, but Universities are 4 year. Most community colleges also do not intercollegiate sport teams like Universities..they have intramural instead. Community colleges are also typically more easy to get accepted into. There are several Universities that DO take people with GEDS, but almost all community colleges do. Also, if your GPA is not that great, its always much easier to get into a community college.

It depends on the civic club (high school, gardening, adult, etc.)  A Service club is a type of voluntary organization where members meet regularly for social outings and to perform charitable works either by direct hands-on efforts or by raising money for other organizations.\n\nObjectives: To help others in the community.

Study hard, make good grades.  Volunteering in your community is a HUGE advantage.  Colleges are looking for outstanding people, not just good students.

Community colleges will generally accept students regardless of their highschool GPA.  Generally the credits earned at a community college can be transfered to a university.  I would expect that if you preformed well at a community college you would be able to transfer to a respectable university with no problems.

I second the two-at-most answer as a rule of thumb - and one that's true at most colleges of any sort. That said, do check with Your Particular Community College: some schools have their own way of going about things.

Community colleges are often harder then regular colleges. Just with the amount of work and since there are smaller classes it is easier to get singled out.

It probably depends on what type of school you're looking for and what other things you have on your application.  I don't even remember listing NHS because there wasn't even room on the application for it and had plenty of friends who didn't list it either.  Nothing came of it.  It's so easy to get into NHS that I don't think it's that big a deal for the top colleges.\n\nConcentrate more on the GPA, SATs, and other outside activities.\n\nIf you're asking whether you should actually join or not, sure go ahead unless they're asking something unreasonable these days.  I think it's a little community service and/or tutoring or something close to that.  You might make new friends and it's another social activity.

Well if you are in High School most of the colleges want your SAT scores.  Why not have some volunteer work or community services under your belt? Or why not be a part of the debate team at your school or some known academic club.

Most colleges are attached to Universities.\n\nLook up Universities on Internet and see if they have the interest in the proposal.\n\nMost institutions are private independent from government but you may want blessing of a board of education or professional society.
