Reading Comprehension UNIT II
Reading Comprehension UNIT II
A community college (or two-year college) is a good place to begin your education in the
U. S. The tuition is usually cheaper than at a university. Because a community college is often
smaller than a university, foreign students are often more comfortable. They´re closer to their
professors and get more attention.
Truman College is a typical community college. It´s one of seven City Colleges of Chicago.
It´s a two-year college on the north side of Chicago. It´s near public transportation buses and trains
so it´s convenient for everyone. For students with a car, parking is free. Credit classes are $70 per
credit hour. Adult education classes are free.
Truman College is an international school. Many of the students are from other countries
and are in ESL (English Student Language) courses. Some of the students are immigrants. Some of
the students are international students. International students are in the U. S. only to study. Tuition
for international students is much higher.
Many of the students have jobs, so evening and weekend classes are convenient for these
students. Some students have small children, so Truman has a child-care center.
The semester is 16 weeks long. Summer semester is eight weeks long. Students are free to
choose their own classes.
