Compare and Contrast Four Year Universities to Technical Colleges
Technical Colleges vs. Four Year University’s
When deciding either to go to a technical college, like Manhattan Technical College, or a four year university, like Kansas State University there can be many things that come into play. Many can include, finances, level of independence, and whether or not a major is already determined.

I would hate that because if I pay to go to school then I want a good education. Although, technical colleges can’t provide students with the same degrees that universities can, most general education courses that a
