Why Community College? (2)

There are several advantages to attending a community college. First, the tuition is lower than a four-year university, especially if you're a resident. Residents pay the in-county or in-state tuition rate. Second, the credits are mostly transferrable to a four-year university. You transfer in as a sophomore or junior. Last, smaller class sizes mean students have more chances to talk with their professors.

After admission, Michelle, along with most other international students , took tests in English, reading and math.

The advising department then reviewed the test results. They then put the students in an English language program to prepare them for an American college. The courses include writing/grammar, reading, speaking/listening and note-taking.

Registration is completed, the tuition is paid, and an official student ID card is in hand. What's next? Attending new student orientation!

A good community college is Michelle's choice for her first-year experience in American higher education. We support her and wish her a successful college life!

next 下一個/要來的那一個

這是容易搞不清楚的字,
例如: 今天是2013/7/23 星期二,
如果你說 next Friday,
有人會認為是要來的這個星期五, 也就是7/26
但是也會有人認為是下個星期五 8/2

next right 前面右手邊的第一條路, 或是過了那條路的下一條呢

不同的人會有不同的理解, 因此要用到next這個字的時候,
要加入更詳細的解釋, 像是日期或路名等等, 以避免誤會
