I’m applying to community college because it just feels like a good starting point for me. I’m still figuring out exactly what I want to do, and I like the idea of having time to explore different subjects without jumping straight into a big university. Plus, it’s more affordable, which takes some of the pressure off. I think the smaller classes will help me really connect with my professors and get the support I need. It’s a chance to learn at my own pace, and I’m excited about being able to transfer to a university later on once I have a clearer idea of where I’m headed.
