Community colleges are an awesome resource for students in our communities. Offering free tuition for the first two years to those who go full time, they are a low-cost way to receive an AA degree and transfer to a 4-year college. They are also great for taking dual enrollment courses while in high school to earn college credits before even starting college. But it’s important to select your college knowing all the statistics surrounding them, and go into any college choice with eyes wide open.

Here at Ednovate, we are so proud of all our students and our graduates. Our alumni in college provide a particularly inspiring voice for our team and students to remind us of the importance of the work we do on a daily basis. Additionally, we hope their wisdom can help inspire future high school students to look forward to what college holds in store for them.

When I was driving up on Friday morning, I couldn’t believe that my summer had already come to an end; summer had literally flown by. For me, move-in day began at 6am with my mom, two younger sisters, and a family friend who we had to pay to drive us. It would be a four hour drive up to Ithaca, New York: the trip that marked the first time my mom and sisters would see my new home.

It was day that took our students farther down the road to a great future, with an Ednovate school working as a team to create opportunities for our students.
