Question: what are the benefits going to a city college compare to a private college or university?am writing an essay on the benefits of going to a city college then a private college or university, what are the pros and cons?28 months ago
Best AnswerPros: Cheaper. Depending on the school, may be a great education. Usually a more diverse student body. Cons: Depending on the school, may not be a great education. Overcrowded, making it hard to get into some classes (private schools can stay the same size while public schools usually have to grow to accommodate the growing population). Subject to political forces, so if your governor wants to slash money from the budget it could be at your school's expense. |
