A college that primarily offers 2-3 year diploma programs; often refereed to rather condescendingly as [junior college]. In Canada, Community College is generally known simply as College while four-year degree programs are normally taught only at a [University]. Generally, focuses on a more practical, hands on approach rather then a theory heavy approach. Also has much less focus on the academic subjects and more on technical ones (although most programs will have at least some academic subjects but they’re not the focus). Usually costs far less then a four-year degree program type of college and is often a more practical option for people that don’t want tens of thousands of dollars in debt from [student loans]. People tend to look down on community college because of its technical focus rather then academic focus. They seem to feel that anyone not strong academically is stupid. People that think this way seem to forget that not [everyone] is academically inclined and everyone learns differently (hence, why there are different options for education). Many go to Community College because they cannot afford the privilege of going (away) to a four-year college or [university]. In short, Community College is another option for education that has a technical rather then academic focus.
