The Importance Of Convenience In A Community College

87 Words1 Page

Convenience has to be the biggest reason why I am attending a community college. The coast is low, the campus is local, and classes are much smaller. It would have been ideal to start at a four year university, however, at the time I could not afford it. My commute each day is less than twenty minutes and i think i have really benefited from enrolling here. The small class sizes allow students to get personalized attention and made the transition into the college setting much smoother.

    Eric Hanushek of Stanford University’s Hoover institute argues that he believes that students can gain benefits from small classes in lower elementary classes, but data from STAR cannot prove that the benefits which persists in students in normal sized upper level classes is the influence of small classes (Ehrenberg, 2001). However, Jeremy D. Finn and Susan B. Gerber prove in the article (The Enduring Effects of Small Classes) that “in addition to immediate impact, attending small classes also had long-term benefits. In general, students who attended small classes in K–3 performed better academically in all subjects in grades 4, 6, and 8 than their peers who attended full-size classes” (GERBER, 2001).
