美国留学：留学社区大学的优点

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.

专家说，美国社区大学为留学生提供了低一点的入学要求，他们可以享受便宜的学费并把学校当作高等教育的平台。学生之后可以转到四年制大学里攻读学士学位。

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，北卡罗莱纳州的戴尔波谷社区学院的学费24学分只要6000美金，在附近的圣何塞州立大学相同的学分要16,500美金。有了两年社区大学的教育经历，学费的差距和存款可以够支付大三一年的学费，杂费，课本和饭钱。

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.

用这些存款，在接下来的两年里学生就可以从很多学校中做出选择。例如，华盛顿的绿河社区学院，会吸引100个四年制的大学到学院开展会。包括约翰霍普斯金大学，俄亥俄州立大学和亚利桑那州立大学。

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所四年制的大学为绿河社区大学的学生提供了入学保证，只要他们能达到平均分从2.0到3.5的要求，并且完整一定数量的学分。同样戴尔波谷社区学院也提供了很多卡罗莱纳州大学的入学保障，留学生招生服务的主任Gloria Zarabozo说道。

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.

加入在高中没有获得足够学分或者没达到大学要求的学生，可以去到自己想去的学校。Jennings说，他招入的90%留学生在绿河社区学院，最后都进入了好的大学。

Choosing courses is also a crucial part of adjusting to U.S. college life. International students often do not get to select inpidual classes while in high school, Jennings notes, and may stick with the same group of students throughout high school.

选课程对于调解留学生活也是关键的一部分，在高中留学生通常不会选课。并且只和一群人在一起玩。
