    Community College is cheaper and you learn a lot, but you don't get the fancy degree to go with it. Getting my ADN here, then going for a four year degree. Being here helped me earn the scholarships to pay for the university though.

    It is for sure worth it. You can get a valuable degree and a substantially smaller price than at a university. You obtain a quallity education and get to still transfer if you choose to a university.

    It may be a little more expensive for a community college and the standards are higher, however the quality of teaching you receive there is good and it does provide with a lot of benefit both social, educational and life for students.

    Tacoma Community College is an amazing school and has taught me an extreme amount not just in the classroom, but about society. The classrooms are very diverse, but everyone is there for a good education. At TCC, you can choose your own classes as well as get free tutoring when it is offered.
