Two year colleges are #or those who are ready to go and get what they need done to +e
a+le to start their nor'al li$es. -eo&le that attend two year colleges are 'ore sure o# what they
would li*e to 'a)or in rather than 'ost who attend a #our year college. Two year colleges could
also +e considered as local or co''unity colleges +ecause% the &ersons who attend do not want
to go to college +ut would li*e to get the in#or'ation needed to +e a+le to +e success#ul on the
real world. "lthough two year schools hel& you to get to your 'a)or .uic*er it still re.uires #or
you to do certain classes that you would ha$e had to ta*e at a #our year college.
/# course 'ost &eo&le would li*e the e,&erience the whole college li#e and see how
things are at a #our year college is% +ut% that can ta*e your #ocus away #ro' your goals. The
ad$antage that a #our year college 'ay ha$e o$er a two year college is that you ha$e 'ore ti'e
to li$e li#e instead o# going straight into the real world. The ad$antage #or a &erson who would
li*e to attend a two year college is that the do not ha$e to go through all the unnecessary classes
)ust to +egin wor*ing on their 'a)or% and also it would hel& the' to #ind a )o+ .uic*er +ecause
'ost two year schools will gi$e the o&&ortunity to +e a+le to wor* hands on in their #ield o#
study.
In 'y o&inion a two year school would +e a +etter choice +ecause you could ta*e
so'e ti'e o## a#ter graduating high school and get yoursel# together then go to school. I +elie$e
a two year school ta*es away a lot o# the &ressure that a #our year school would gi$e you
+ecause% you can wor* at your own &ace and +uild your schedule to wor* around your e$eryday
li#e.
