Thanks for your insite into the 2-4 year education process. You are right in the long run beginning at a four year college is a great option when you really know what you want to do, or if you have a pretty good idea. Statistically you are done with your degree in a faster period of time and are working in your career field.

If you are coming directly out of high school or have only left high school a few years ago, this is a great way to go.

Even if you are not entirely sure what you want to study on average college students in a university are still done faster, on average from 4 1/2 to 5 1/2 years in my experience. For those transfering from a community college there are a number of variables, but typically its 6 to 6 1/2 years.

In the long run you can end up spending more money than you would if you just went straight to a traditional college. Of course this depends on a number of things.

Community Colleges are great for initial low cost, and I’ve seen Community Colleges this work wonders for adults who have considerations that might prevent them from attending a university.
