Save Money and be like Famous People!
Thursday, April 1st, 2010Want to save $10,000+ and be like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Tom Hanks and George Lucas? Then apply to a US community college. Arnold, Tom and George began their academic careers at community colleges and saved tens of thousands of dollars doing it (not that they need to save money now…but they did at the beginning!).
Community colleges are the best kept secret in American higher education. Did you know that you can study for two years at some community colleges and then transfer into a 4 year university as a junior? Many community colleges have agreements with 4-year universities to accept up to two years of transfer credit, but you pay for the much cheaper community college classes! By the way, last year there were around 94,000 international students studying at community colleges….so you won’t be alone.
