Charting Your Course: Finding the Right Path to College (and Saving Money!)

As our students in the Class of 2025 embark on the exciting journey towards higher education, we want to take a moment to celebrate some early successes. A huge congratulations to those graduates who have already received acceptances to the University of Kansas and York College! Your dedication and hard work have paid off, and we couldn’t be prouder.
For all our students navigating their post-secondary options, it’s important to remember that many paths can lead to a fulfilling and successful future. Whether your sights are set on a large state university like Florida State University (FSU) or the Penn State University, or perhaps a more intimate setting like Widner University, the options can feel both exhilarating and overwhelming.
We often focus on the “dream school” – the one that captures their imagination with its vibrant campus, renowned programs, or winning sports teams. And while these aspirations are important, it’s also crucial to consider the various routes to achieving those dreams. One often-overlooked but incredibly valuable option is starting at a community college.
For some students, heading straight to a four-year institution right after high school is the perfect fit. They’re ready for the full university experience and have a clear academic trajectory in mind. However, for others, the transition might feel daunting, or perhaps their academic focus isn’t yet fully defined. This is where community college can shine.
