Public vs private colleges
When it comes to the moment to enter university and get higher education, hundred of
students face a dilemma; Public university or Private university. Since there’s many answers
to this question, let just compare the two popular question.
The question of payment is a top priority. When choosing a public university, one can
save a fortune in tuition and fees. A year’s tuition at a private university can be much higher
than the cost of attending a state university. So, if the budget is on low to medium level, it’s
better to attending at the public university. However, in private university, there are
numerous scholarship and financial package that can help people out there, who is high-
archiver.
Admission to state university tends to be easier. State universities are generally much
bigger, and can therefore accept more applicants. At the same time, larger university mean
larger class size. It’s especially true some class can be up to seventy students, which is hard
to study. Unlike state universities, private universities are usually fairly small; that is why
they only take on a limited number of new admissions each year. This fact explains why
private universities often seem so restrictive and why competition to enter private
universities is so high.
It’s hard to give one exact answer to this question. The academic goals and financial
demands of each are different, and each type of university has strong points and weak points.
