Most
Americans recognize the need for good education and
more money than ever is being devoted to that end.
State
College or University
A state school is supported and run by a
state or local government. Each of the 50 US states
operates at least one state university and possibly
several state colleges. Some state schools have the
word "State" in their names.
Private
College or University
These schools are operated privately, not
by a branch of the government. Tuition will usually
be higher than at state schools. Often, private colleges
and universities are smaller in size than state schools.
Each
school/University sets its own admission requirements.
The admission process consists of application forms,
admission tests and essays. Universities make admission
decisions, based on academic achievement, admission
test scores and applications. The academic section is
generally the most important but not the only deciding
factor.
