While attending university is often the goal for many high school students, it’s not always a feasible option. Between costly tuition, stringent assessments and a highly competitive acceptance process, many high school students have to consider other options. Fortunately, community college provides a highly attractive alternative for those who are unable to attend their desired university straight out of high school. Here, Southeast Community College, with campuses in Beatrice, Lincoln and Milford, shares some of the unique benefits a community college environment offers and why high school students should consider it a viable path to future academic success.

3 Benefits of Community College

1. Greater Flexibility

Community CollegeOne of the most significant benefits of a community college setting is flexibility. In addition to being significantly more affordable than public four-year or private institutions, community college also is flexible in terms of class scheduling. Students lead busy lives that require large time commitments outside of school, such as working part-time and sometimes full-time jobs. If you cannot handle a full course load, community colleges offer weekend and night classes to accommodate unique schedules.

2. Individualized Attention

Another benefit of attending community college is that students receive much more individualized attention than they do at larger schools. With lower student-to-teacher ratios and more opportunities for one-on-one time, students can excel in their studies. Enhanced personal attention from instructors makes a notable difference in the students’ ability to succeed.

3. Ability to Transfer to the Dream School

Community college also provides a solid foundation for students to build upon. If you aren’t financially equipped to afford your dream school or don’t have the proper prerequisites for acceptance, community college can act as a bridge to success. With affordable tuition, flexible class schedules and one-on-one time, community college prepares students to transfer credits and attend their dream four-year school down the line.
