Enrollment at community colleges is booming. In
fact, 6.7 million students—half of all
undergraduates in the nation—attend community
colleges, and the number has grown by 10 percent
in just the last year.
But as students of all ages pursue this path
many don’t know how to pick the right program,
juggle classes with other responsibilities, or
succeed academically. This book guides students
through these areas and shows them how to make
the most of the community college experience.
Students will explore certificate and degree
options; connect their needs, plans, and
personalities to courses and programs; and gain
tips for enhancing their financial aid package
and scoring scholarships.
Community College Companion
also takes students beyond the early
stages of their experience to set themselves up
for success in college and their future careers.
Readers learn how to make the most of online
courses; take advantage of campus resources;
avoid commuting inefficiencies; play it smart
during the transfer process; and develop a
career plan.
