    Sofia is deciding whether to attend community college or a four-year university. She is interested in child development, psychology, and science. Community college would be more affordable at $3,706 total per year compared to $33,187 at the University of Nevada, Reno. However, the university may provide more opportunities. Sofia is considering the trade-offs of each option, such as saving money at community college now versus more opportunities later. She hopes college will allow her to get a better job and become more knowledgeable in her fields of interest.
