== Why Community College? ==
<span id="docs-internal-guid-6db1f6bd-768c-feda-6548-14f9d0df2d34"><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Community Colleges are attractive options to students for three reasons, ease of access to advisors, ease of financial burden, [[File:Money.jpg|thumb|Money.jpg]]and consequently an increased ability to change majors. Public four year institutions in the United States mostly have large student to faculty ratios. This makes meeting with professors, advisors, and other faculty to develop a strong relationship with a potential mentor quite hard. It is quite easy for students to feel like small fish in a big ocean with no sense of direction. Community colleges offer smaller class sizes and allow students to develop a more personal relationship with their professors, advisors, or other mentors.</span></span> <span><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span>
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;">In addition to the benefit of personal relationships with mentors, community college is also much more affordable than 4-year institutions. This allows students to explore more areas of interest. Students will be more willing to pursue their curiosities if they do not feel pressured by a financial burden not to do so. This, paired with easier access to mentors, allows students to gather a stronger understanding of what their passions and goals will be when they transfer to a 4-year institution and beyond.</span>
