black colleges
Community black colleges have advantages and disadvantages over traditional 4-year universities. Here are a few factors to consider when choosing which option is best for you.
PROS
Admission Requirements
One of the main differences between community colleges and 4-year schools is admission requirements. Community black colleges typically have open admission which means that anyone can attend. This is very beneficial if the grades on your high school transcripts aren't on par with what 4-year universities require. Community college can also be a stepping-stone to a 4-year university. Once you find out what the transfer requirements are (how many college hours are needed, transfer GPA, etc.) you can put yourself on a path to transfer to your 4-year school of choice.
Tuition and Fees
A second advantage to community college is cheaper tuition. For the same amount of hours taken, tuition at community colleges can be at least 50% cheaper than 4-year schools. If money for college is a great concern, the community college route is definitely one to consider. (Note: Tuition at in-district community colleges will be cheaper than out-of-district or out-of-state community colleges). In addition to tuition and fees at a 4-year school, the cost of room and board is also a consideration if you decide to live on campus.
Class Schedules
Since a lot of students work during the day, community colleges often offer flexible class schedules which can include early-morning classes, evening classes and weekend classes. This is beneficial if you work full-time.
