Two-year colleges, often called community colleges, are a great option for internationals students to study in the USA. Not only can international students save a lot of money by attending a two-year college and then transferring to a four-year university, but many two-year colleges offer exceptional English language programs to help students prepare for four-year universities and improve their English language skills. We’ve highlighted three two-year colleges international students should consider when deciding to study in the USA.
