I remember my teacher in high school persuading me to go to community college for the first 2 years and then going to a university. I could understand why she would suggest that because it was the cheaper way to go, but at the same time I believed that going to a University was better. The dorm experience is very special and exciting. It’s having a chance to live on your own and meet lots of new people. It’s a chance to learn a lot about yourself and new people. That experience is not as possible at a community college.
