Jeon1Chul-young JeonDr. HeffernanEnglish 1A, Tuse 7-1024 April, 2001Studying at a Community CollegeMany Korean students want to study in a foreign country. Most of them hope to study in the U.S. because the universities in the U.S. are the world’s leading academy. But it is also true that there is not enough information about American universities in Korea. In addition, Korean students have several difficulties like speaking English, expensive tuition fees, and unfamiliar environments. American community colleges can be an alternative for them. Knowing American colleges including community colleges and their educational systems, I would like to explain the advantages and disadvantages in terms of attending a 4-year college and community college by comparing and contrasting them.First of all, attending a community college is less expensive than attending a 4-year college. In general, normal 4-year colleges cost about $10,000 to $15,000 a year. In addition, attending a private college, students pay almost $25,000 a year. On the other hand, community colleges cost approximately $4,000 a year. If Korean students study at a community college during their freshmen and sophomore years and finish studying at a 4-year college after transferring, they can save over 20000 dollars. Community college systems offer a remarkable economical advantage.Secondly, professors at community colleges have fewer students than professors at 4-year colleges. During freshman and sophomore years, college students spend their time studying general education, such as Psychology, Sociology, Art, etc. When a professor gives a lecture for a general education class, the professor has hundreds of students at a 4-year college for the reason that 4-year colleges usually have a lot of students on campus. But community colleges have relatively fewer students, at most fifty students in a class. It gives opportunities,Jeon2which are easy contacts for students to ask questions privately about something they missed during the professors’ lecture and seek an understanding about their poor English matters.Finally, preparing to apply to a community college is less complicated and difficult than 4-year colleges. Community colleges only require a high school diploma and an adequate TOEFL score, which is around 500, unlike 4-year colleges, which require both a TOEFL and SAT score and other prerequisites such as essays, recommendations, and sometimes interviews. Moreover, foreign students don’t need the SAT score to transfer to a junior year at 4-year colleges. Applying to a community college can save almost a year for foreign students by not preparing for the complicated requirements and students can adapt themselves to circumstances by giving their time to their American life, instead of preparing for the requirements.However, in order to transfer to Ivy League schools, such as Harvard University, Yale University, Princeton University, Brown University, etc, community colleges don’t seem to be a good choice. A statistical value supports this fact. Harvard University admitted 73 transfer students out of 1153 and there were only 8 students from community colleges. Even Princeton University does not accept transfer students. Wanting to transfer to such colleges, students would be better off attending a 4-year college like a state university.In spite of the above fact, students who are considering master degree can have an outstanding plan. After studying at a community college during their freshman and sophomore and transferring to a state university for junior and senior, they can study for their master degree at a Ivy League University.In conclusion, community colleges are a desirable choice for Korean students who want to study in the U.S. in terms of economical reasons, a good educational environment, and a short and simple preparation period.
