    This document discusses the benefits of attending community college as an affordable option for higher education. It notes that community colleges are the largest system of higher education in the world, enrolling over 2.5 million students across 112 campuses in California. Fees are significantly lower than four-year universities, ranging from $1,140-$1,420 per year plus $1,700 estimated for books. Community colleges offer guaranteed transfer contracts to multiple UC and CSU campuses as well as some private and out-of-state schools. They provide extensive student support services and vibrant campus life while students complete the first two years of a bachelor's degree at a fraction of the cost of attending a four-year university immediately after high school
