Green River College is a public two-year community college where students from all over the world come together to learn, grow and enrich their lives. You can find out more about the college in this recording of a webinar from June 2020 with Jelle Draper, their European Ambassador.
A community college provides the first two years of a university experience. With the rising costs of university education, almost half the American undergraduate population and many international students attend community colleges for their first two years of college to save money.
For example, one year of tuition at Green River College costs $10,350 or approximately £7,800 vs. $30,000 to $50,000 per year at an American 4-year university. The total cost with living expenses for one quarter at Green River College is $7,000 (more information about costs here). The first two years of university at an American university consist of general requirements which would be the same whether you are at a two-year or four-year university.
"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." Read more.
