Many parents in Hong Kong misunderstood that community college “is not university”, in fact, what you study at community colleges is actually the first two years’ worth of credits towards your Bachelor’s Degree. That’s how for a four-year degree in the US, a student can choose to study 2 years at a community college and 2 years at a traditional university. Moreover, compared to applying directly into a Top University in the States, transferring from a community college is a much easier and simpler way.
