community college questions?

yes...you can still go...but you will probably need a student visa (depending on the country) and you will pay out of state tuition.  \nI'm not from the U.S. and my tuition is about $12000 a yr for a CC...but that depends on where the school is located.\nI suggest you go to the website of the school you are looking at and look under either 'new students', prospective students, or admissions...it should have a link for international students that will give you all the information you need!

I would go the community college route if you plan to go back to school at some point.  A fair percentage of ITT's credits don't transfer to other schools.

I'm glad that I went to community college.  The classes are smaller, and the professors usually know your name.  It's a good adjustment to college, and then after two years you will be ready to transfer to a big college, and enjoy the college life.  Good Luck on your decision....if you need more advice on this topic, just email me.

My mother went to a community college in her area and pasted her real astate exam with flying colors. Check out the community colleges in your area.

I transferred from a community college to a private 4 year college without getting an AA degree first.  It depends on your GPA.  If you have at least a B average, you should have no problem getting into most colleges.  When you apply to other college simply apply as a transfer student.  They will evaluate your transcripts from community college. \n\nIf you call the admissions office of the college you are interested in attending, let the counselor know that you are currently attending community college and would like to transfer to their school.  They will give you the specific process on what you need to do as well as their requirements.  \n\nOnce accepted into another college, they will evaluate your transcripts from the community college and decide which credits they will permit to transfer over.   Any class that you did not at least make a "C" in will not be transferable.  Classes that you received a Pass or Fail in will not transfer either because they require a letter grade of "A" "B" or "C" in order to be considered to transfer over.\n\nAs far as the worth of an AA degree, it's debatable.  You will obviously save money by completing your AA degree if your state has a program that guarantees you a place at a state university once you graduate and full transfer of your credits earned.  (Florida has that program.) If not, I say transfer away.  Unless you are less then a semester away from graduating or getting a degree that will let you work while finishing your B.A.  Think Paralegal, LPN, act.  The other College or University is going to be interested more in your GPA then whether or not you hold an AA degree.

it depends on the course you r going to take. ya! you can, if you are talking about the community colleges then it is better for you to have a green card otherwise you have to pay lot more than what you will be expecting. the college here is not free, you have to pay $81 per credit hour. so if you r taking 3 crdit course then multiply it and then other additional fees like computers, building maintenance etc. if you are coming here on student visa then i will suggest u to go to university directly.

Don't worry about it at this point. You can burn a couple of years in college easy just working on pre-reqs. \n\nYou really are better off hitting up community college first, as it will be very cheap for you, and most community colleges have transfer programs worked out with universities these days so you can transfer credits with ease. \n\nThere are plenty of general education classes that you can knock out while deciding...like english, math, chem, speech, government, PE, etc. \n\nI suggest taking as many pre-reqs as you can at a community college before transfering to a major university as it will save ya heaps. Only problem with community colleges is that you have a higher ratio of teachers who will slide undeserving people through. Don't let those softies compromise your education...go above and beyond their requirements and expecations, so that whatever program you chose afterwards, you will be prepared. Remember that this a foundation that you will build upon. \n\nGood career moves for you at this point are health care jobs. They will be in big demand for decades to come, and the advantage come interview time will be towards you with the health care worker shortage. Something such as nursing gives you PLENTY of opportunities...so aiming for classes geared towards that may be a good idea, like Anatomy, Physiology, Microbiology, etc. Then regardless of what career you choose in health care, you're likely to have hit some of their pre-reqs as well (most in the medical area require those three, as well as nutrition and organic chemistry)

I agree with most of what has already been said.  The message you should be getting, though, is that you should apply anyway.  Apply to at least three schools, including those you really want to go to and a couple you would settle for.  Community college can be a great way to get an education, but it will require lots of discipline on your part to complete the process in a reasonable time.  I have met very few people who completed junior college with a degree in the two years it should take.  If you go to junior college, arrange a meeting with a counselor before you chose your first semester classes.  Set up a plan to get all the courses you need completed in two years.  Also ask the counselor whether they have transfer agreements with any universities.  In my home town, a person who can't get in to the state university can enter a contract through the junior college that will guarantee them admission to the state university if they complete certain classes within a given time period.  The bottom line is that you should go for it and don't worry about the things you can't change.

Try community college first.

Figure out what classes you liked the best in school. If you don't know exactly what you want to do, that's okay, college can help you with that. Go to community college if you and your family don't have enough money and you really have no idea where you want to go. Don't listen to that myth that community colleges are easy. They're not. My dad transfered to one after going to a college. He said it challenged him greatly. Go to the Career Center in your school if they have one. They will most likely help you get a head start on where you're heading.

Try to go to the website of that college; I am sure that you could chat with any body from the student association. This may be what it gets your foot in the door; once you arrive, any of them could introduce you to what you need to know.

The community college where I live looks at the following things:\nA.) Whether or not you have a high school diploma, or a GED, and the grades/scores you recieved. They want to know if you are ready for higher education.\nB.) Your career goals. \nC.) Usually they will ask you to test on Mathematics, Grammar, Sentence structure, Basic Science, some sociology, and reading/comprehension.\nD.) Then they will match your career goals to the scores from your test and decide if you need tutoring/ classes before taking the classes to obtain your degree.\nE.) Financial. I don't think they run a credit check, but they will need to know how you will pay, or if you are eligible for financial aid.\n\nThese are the things I remember from when I went back. You can always call the college you plan to attend, and ask them exactly what they require. Hope all goes well!

The American Association of Community Colleges and the American Association of State Colleges and Universities are involved in a joint project to make access to a four-year degree easier for community college students. You can see the information about this at their project website:\nhttp://www.pathtocollege.org/\n\nNow, I'm not sure that this is really what you are asking about. It is not typical for national organizations like this to attempt to standardize curricula on a national level. On a statewide basis, though, many states have worked to develop agreements between community colleges and state colleges and universities that make transfer of coursework easier. Often called articulation agreements, these agreements between the state's community college system and the state university system help students in community college know in advance what courses will transfer from community colleges to the four year college. \n\nIf you are interested in Ohio, it doesn't look like they have a systemwide articulation agreement with all colleges, but that individual community colleges make articulation agreements with individual colleges in the state. Look at this link for a list of articulation agreements: \nhttp://www.regents.state.oh.us/hei/transferassurance/transferassurance.htm\nIts not the easiest information to understand. Take a look at North Carolina's articulation agreement, which covers all community colleges and state colleges and universities. It is much easier for students to understand:\nhttp://www.ncccs.cc.nc.us/Articulation/ComprehensiveArticulationAgreement.htm\n\nIf you are a community college student right now and you are interested in transferring to a four year college, I suggest that you contact the admissions department in the four year colleges that you are interested in and ask about their specific articulation agreement.\n\nHope this helps!

Ask what YOU want to know. Try to ask stuff that you cannot find on the college's site or brochures. Asking some of the college students themselves is a lot of times more rewarding than whoever is leading the tour or session.\n\nA good question is:\nIf there was one thing you would change about this college, what would it be and why?
