American community colleges offer international students a cheaper entry point into their higher education pursuits via low tuition rates on freshman and sophomore level classes, often with the added bonus of an easier transition to U.S.-style academics, experts say. Students then transfer to four-year schools to complete their bachelor's degree.
專家說，美國社區(qū)大學(xué)為留學(xué)生提供了低一點(diǎn)的入學(xué)要求，他們可以享受便宜的學(xué)費(fèi)并把學(xué)校當(dāng)作高等教育的平臺(tái)。學(xué)生之后可以轉(zhuǎn)到四年制大學(xué)里攻讀學(xué)士學(xué)位。
For instance, the tuition and fees at Diablo Valley College in Northern California are nearly $6,000 for 24 credits, while it costs more than $16,500 for the same number of credits at nearby San Jose State University. Based on two years of attending community college, the price difference and savings could be enough to pay for a student's junior year of tuition, fees, textbooks, and meals.
例如，北卡羅萊納州的戴爾波谷社區(qū)學(xué)院的學(xué)費(fèi)24學(xué)分只要6000美金，在附近的圣何塞州立大學(xué)相同的學(xué)分要16,500美金。有了兩年社區(qū)大學(xué)的教育經(jīng)歷，學(xué)費(fèi)的差距和存款可以夠支付大三一年的學(xué)費(fèi)，雜費(fèi)，課本和飯錢。
Using those saved funds, students have a variety of college choices to choose from for the latter two years. Washington's Green River Community College, for instance, will attract around 100 four-year schools from around the country for a college fair later this month, including Johns Hopkins University,Ohio State University, and Arizona State University, says Ross Jennings, Green River's associate vice president of international programs.
用這些存款，在接下來的兩年里學(xué)生就可以從很多學(xué)校中做出選擇。例如，華盛頓的綠河社區(qū)學(xué)院，會(huì)吸引100個(gè)四年制的大學(xué)到學(xué)院開展會(huì)。包括約翰霍普斯金大學(xué)，俄亥俄州立大學(xué)和亞利桑那州立大學(xué)。
Nineteen four-year universities offer guaranteed admission to Green River Community College students, as long they meet requirements such as grade point averages ranging from 2.0 to 3.5 and complete a specified number of credits, Jennings says. Similarly, Diablo Valley College has guaranteed admissions agreements with most University of California schools, according to Gloria Zarabozo, international students admission and services director.
19所四年制的大學(xué)為綠河社區(qū)大學(xué)的學(xué)生提供了入學(xué)保證，只要他們能達(dá)到平均分從2.0到3.5的要求，并且完整一定數(shù)量的學(xué)分。同樣戴爾波谷社區(qū)學(xué)院也提供了很多卡羅萊納州大學(xué)的入學(xué)保障，留學(xué)生招生服務(wù)的主任Gloria Zarabozo說道。
Proving academic performance helps students who didn't have high enough high school grades or college admissions test scores to get accepted into their dream college, Jennings says. He estimates that 90 percent of international students he recruits are attending Green River Community College to ultimately transfer to a more prestigious university, as defined by the students.
加入在高中沒有獲得足夠?qū)W分或者沒達(dá)到大學(xué)要求的學(xué)生，可以去到自己想去的學(xué)校。Jennings說，他招入的90%留學(xué)生在綠河社區(qū)學(xué)院，最后都進(jìn)入了好的大學(xué)。
Choosing courses is also a crucial part of adjusting to U.S. college life. International students often do not get to select individual classes while in high school, Jennings notes, and may stick with the same group of students throughout high school.
選課程對(duì)于調(diào)解留學(xué)生活也是關(guān)鍵的一部分，在高中留學(xué)生通常不會(huì)選課。并且只和一群人在一起玩。
