in USA, the cost of living is high.
Tuition is also very high for international student.
However, if you study hard, you should be able to transfer into a good University.
(usually based on your GPA in community college)
one thing you should keep in mind that some people study in community college and lost their goal.....(because 50% of the students in CC college don't study hard)
i believe....ENGLISH is the most important factor if you wish to study in English-based country.
for international student, I don't know there is much different over Tuition now.
whether or not you can transfer into 4 year-university is depended on your grades in community colleges. Like ocean350 said, if you study hard, you should be able to get into any good schools.
you need to have some ideas about your major? set your major first. do research on classes you need to graduated.
for example, in 4 year-university
what classes do you need to take ?
then
do research on 2+2 system, the classes in
the first 2 year in community college (the classes you need to take for transfer)
the last 2 year in 4-year university.
其實 2+2 在加州 比較少發生 通常都是 2+ 3 或是 3 + 2
community college 提供的課程多是 General Education (共同科目?) 轉到 university 後 通常本科系的課因為有擋修等等的問題大多會拖成兩年半或三年
其他同學有提到很重要的事情
- 很多人讀了 community college 也不會好好唸書. 自我要求是很重要的
- community college 要拿高的 GPA 不困難
- 英文很重要. 我也會建議你先去唸個半年一年的語言學校 或是第一二學期就拿 community college 的ESL (English as Second Language) 課程. 熟悉人文環境後拿好成績更是事半功倍
目前加州 community college international student 學費約 $250 per unit
