2 Year vs. 4 Year by Victoria Metcalf https://padlet.com/vmetcalf/j8qv11vz2i6a What is the difference between a community college and a 4 year university? Which one do you think is better? Why? en-us 2018-04-03 15:49:04 UTC 2025-10-15 15:22:47 UTC hello@padlet.com Personally, financially wise community is always a cheaper option. You're paying less than you would at a university for the same gen ed classes at a university although being able to start at one looks really good. https://padlet.com/vmetcalf/j8qv11vz2i6a/wish/251335895 2018-04-12 19:27:27 UTC https://padlet.com/vmetcalf/j8qv11vz2i6a/wish/251335895 https://padlet.com/vmetcalf/j8qv11vz2i6a/wish/251335995 The difference between community college and a 4 year university is that a community college is more affordable, but doesn't offer many majors as a university would. ]]> 2018-04-12 19:27:42 UTC https://padlet.com/vmetcalf/j8qv11vz2i6a/wish/251335995 https://padlet.com/vmetcalf/j8qv11vz2i6a/wish/251336052 The difference is the types of degrees you can get. Community is limited and its more of a starting point; a university has more options and you can live on that campus they offer more degrees and certificates. I don think one is better than the other it depends on the person and what they want to do

The difference between 4 year and community is community is smaller classes and you can go for all years but you have a choice to leave after like 2 years.

Not to mention that colleges are much faster, and cheaper. It all depends on you, and what you want to major in. If you aren't trying to get into a high paying job, go through Community college, and then transfer over to a large University. If you want to be a lawyer, a doctor, or any other high paying job, get scholarships, and go straight to a University.]]> 2018-04-12 19:28:09 UTC https://padlet.com/vmetcalf/j8qv11vz2i6a/wish/251336205 https://padlet.com/vmetcalf/j8qv11vz2i6a/wish/251336212 university ]]> 2018-04-12 19:28:10 UTC https://padlet.com/vmetcalf/j8qv11vz2i6a/wish/251336212 Community College https://padlet.com/vmetcalf/j8qv11vz2i6a/wish/251336218 I believe a 2 year community college is better because it saves a lot of money and there are more chances to be able to get to know the professor and the professor getting to know you one-on-one. At a 4 year university there's a lot of competition with getting to know the professor personally.]]> 2018-04-12 19:28:11 UTC https://padlet.com/vmetcalf/j8qv11vz2i6a/wish/251336218 https://padlet.com/vmetcalf/j8qv11vz2i6a/wish/251336290 Community is cheaper then a 4 year college.
