WHAT ARE THE TOP TEN REASONS FOR ATTENDING A COMMUNITY COLLEGE IN THE U.S.? 1. Lower cost Tuition and fees at community colleges are significantly lower than at 4-year colleges and universities. 2. Excellent transfer opportunities Most community colleges have agreements with 4-year colleges and universities, which allow students to transfer their community college credits toward a university degree. Community colleges offer programs in all major fields of study that can transfer to 4-year colleges and universities. Some community colleges even offer four-year degrees. 3. Flexible English proficience requirements Because community colleges provide their own assessments and offer Intensive English Programs (IEPs) to students who require additional English proficiency, TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) scores are not always required for the admissions process. 4. Focus on teaching and student success Community college students enjoy a great deal of personal attention from their professors; extra help and support are available when you need it. 5. Small class sizes The average community college class size is between 15 and 20 students, which allows professors to devote more time to individual students and for students to interact with each other. 6. Additional practical training opportunity International students with F-1 visa status are eligible to complete one year of Optional Practical Training (OPT) in their fields of study immediately following completion of an associate degree, and a second year of OPT immediately following completion of a bachelor’s degree. 7. Use of the latest technologies Because of their strong ties with business and industry, most community colleges have state-of-the-art technologies, classrooms, and facilities. 8. Flexible admissions requirements Many community colleges do not require standardized admissions tests, only a test of English for international students, and many have rolling deadlines for admissions. 9. Opportunities to experience U.S. culture Because community colleges have strong ties to their surrounding communities, they offer international students both a rich academic environment and a unique opportunity to experience many aspects of life in the United States—both on and off campus. 10. Excellent student support services Community colleges are committed to attracting a diverse student population and ensuring that all students succeed. Thank you.. Further contact- 9803296676
