10/25/2023 0 Comments Week 5: Community CollegeThis week I plan on completing a slideshow and sheets document to list the top fifteen community colleges in North Carolina. This includes areas near me and some far away. What they specialize has not been taken into account, but their ratings of how the college is set up and teaches is. Throughout this the location, average tuition, and a few other things will be mentioned. The plan is to finish everything by next week for this part of the assignment. Military is still a consideration depending on the time that I have left. This project is taking a little longer than expected...
What have I done? So far I have completed a segment on four year universities in North Carolina. Due to there being so many across the United States, I stuck with North Carolina. This allows for in-state tuition to be considered instead of out-of-state tuition that varies. My findings with four year universities are that they are extremely expensive, considering they are public colleges. They are also more accepting of scholarships and financial aid. While some schools may not offer as much, a lot of the universities offer academic, athletic, and more in the scholarship columns. Students have the ability, if they work hard enough, to gain a college education at an expensive university for the price of two years at a community college. This is crucial to anyone that wants a larger degree compared to an associates degree. However, Community colleges offer financial aid AFTER their reduced prices that make their college even cheaper. For example, as I attended school through Davie County I can go to Davidson-Davie community college and get two free years of schooling. If I did not get any finacial aid from a four year, the best idea is to take the two years as transfer credits. This would make my degree of whatever I get say the four year university while I only paid for half. To do list so far: -create and finish slide show for community college -add elements that "spice" up slideshow -make sure to complete everything for this weeks Genius hour. -Find credible sources -CIte sources
