Another difference that is very important is the class sizes. At a university like Harvard, you will have anywhere from 15-200 people in your classes. At a community college, your largest class may have 30 people in it. Class sizes will affect the student’s ability to learn because with a huge class, the student will not be able to ask as many questions for clarification. Also, with having such a large class, the student may tend to focus on the people around them more than the professor. When a professor has a large class like that, he may not tend to encourage extra help because of the size; opposed to a professor with only 30 students, he more than likely will. In my opinion, I think attending a two-year college is better than attending a four year college. The student will receive the same education at either college, but a two-year college is better for a student that is unsure of their academic abilities or what they want to major in. At a two-year college, there is less pressure to choose a major and the price is way less. A four-year college is better for the student that wants to go straight into a professional field of health or sciences because they offer bachelor’s degrees. However, I honestly feel that after graduation high school, most students are unsure exactly what they want to do with their life either way.
