5 Benefits of a Hybrid College Experience


A "hybrid" college experience doesn't mean getting to school in a Toyota Prius. As former Coastline blogger Saul Rubin puts it, "A hybrid college experience is relatively simple: you start school at a nearby community college before transferring to a four-year institution to finish out your degree. It’s what the money fortune tellers (otherwise known as economists) would call a lower-cost, efficient way to get an education. It’s not just because community college is cheaper either." Check out his blog on why a college transfer path might be the right choice for you!
