college
With the average cost of a private 4-year college topping out at over 25-thousand dollars a year, many would-be students and their families are scrambling to figure out how they can afford a degree. The traditional vision of college includes coeds and ivy-covered buildings, but getting a college education today doesn't necessarily have to include dormitories and dining halls.
Today's recession is bringing more and more students - young and old -- to the campuses of community and technical college and the world of online learning. For high school grads that can't afford the traditional college experience these options are a great alternative. They're also good choices for those who've recently lost a job or want to make a career change.
Community College
Many people who wouldn't have considered community college before, are now looking at the schools with a fresh eye. The option makes sense for families on a tight budget since the national average tuition is under 3-thousand dollars. The cost of community college also appeals to students who cringe at the thought of graduating with tens of thousands of dollars in student loans.
Actually, community college can serve a variety of purposes. Some families choose to use it as a bridge between high school and a 4-year institution. If you didn't get into your college of choice or just aren't ready to leave home yet, a community college can be a great transition. It gives everyone a breather and the student more time to mature and figure out the best course of action.
