<p>Pros:
- Easy admission, basically all you have to do is sign up and your in
- Cheap, although the tuition in general is rising, it is still cheaper than public universities. You take college courses for a cheaper price
- Faculty, not sure about at universities and colleges, but the faculty at CC’s are very helpful, often stay after class to help, very availible with their office hours and time outside the classroom</p>
<p>Cons:
- Terrible “college experience”. Very little communication between students unless you already know each other. Students often come and go, take one class and leave for work/home etc..
- When you graduate, you basically have to do the same process as you did as a high school senior with applications, essays, letters of reccomendation, it can get pretty stressful. It is also more difficult than as a high school senior, as you have to make sure your credits are accepted and you have to make sure they match up with your intended major
- Lack of school spirit, really nobody cares about the school except for a minority. </p>
<p>overall my experience has been more positive than negative. It has prepared me for a four year school and I have been able to work hard enough to earn better grades than what I did in high school. The biggest negative is the social life, really outside of the friends I knew from high school, I didn’t meet any new friends and never really had a great time on campus. Most of the kids as soon as class is over go to their cars or immediately go to their cell phones</p>
