Colleges sometimes serve as a bridge between high school and universities. But how? Check out the two points below, which are crucial considerations for choosing colleges.

 Smaller class sizes at colleges compared to universities

Colleges tend to have a more intimate environment than universities, with fewer students in college classes. This provides a great opportunity for students to prepare and acclimate to the academic setting. So, in this regard, colleges help ease the shock of entering university life.

Combination of college and university with a 3+1 or 2+2 program

Consider the real scenario below: Arian and Ryan are both 19 years old and want to study engineering at York University. The tuition for York University is around thirty thousand dollars a year.

Arian saved thirty-two thousand dollars how?

Ryan went straight to York and paid thirty thousand dollars each year for four years. In total, he spent one hundred and twenty thousand dollars for computer engineering.

After consulting with RainCity, Arian chose a different path. Arian enrolled in Seneca College and studied for two years, then spent the next two years at York University, graduating in the same field: computer engineering. Arian paid fourteen thousand dollars for two years of tuition and thirty thousand dollars for the other two years, totaling eighty-eight thousand dollars for computer engineering. Yes, with this simple planning, Arian saved thirty-two thousand dollars.
