In the United States today, a large group of people want a college education. However, everyone is not able to attend a four-year college. Many four-year colleges are already too crowed. To give more people a chance to get a college education, some cities and towns have built junior colleges. The junior college offers a two-year courses of study in a wide range of subjects. It prepares some young people to go on to a four-year college. It trains others for jobs in business, government, or industry. Because junior colleges are built in cities, they can serve many people who live in a large community. Many students can not afford to go to a four-year college. But they can save enough to go to a junior college. The entrance fee at a junior college is low. Students can also save money by living at home. A junior college admits some high school graduates who would not be accepted at other schools. The four-year college turns down students whose high school grades are low. The junior college will often admit a student who might do well in taking a two-year course. One of the goals of our country is to educate as many people as possible. The junior college is a school meant to serve many people. It puts a college education within the reach of a great number of people. Without these schools, many people would not be able to continue their education after high school.
