@Dominik85 posted:Another question: where is the money from jucos coming from? They don't have a scholarship limit, fees are much lower than 4 year schools and they are probably not drawing huge crowds either, aren't they? Who pays for that?
They actually can have decent sized enrollments. The schools in my area all average 10-15k and juco is not a very popular option at all among high schoolers in my region.
Small campuses, no housing, less employees, not going to have the facilities a state school has, etc. Some have campuses, some are a few buildings strung together. So while the fees are low, there are less costs associated with the school as well. Also tax dollars
