Can I Go to College Two Years After Graduating High School?
Yes, you can definitely go to college two years after graduating high school. Many students take time off for various reasons such as work, travel, or personal development before pursuing higher education. When you're ready to apply, you'll need to follow the application process for the colleges you're interested in, which may include submitting transcripts, test scores, and personal statements. Taking time off can even provide you with valuable experiences that enhance your college applications.
Understanding the Situation
Your question is a bit confusing, but I assume that you graduated from high school two years ago. The answer to your question is 'yes.' Sometimes even people 40 years old enter college. Community colleges offer courses that are generally covered in the first two years of college. You may wish to begin your efforts in one near you. If you live in the USA, at least you certainly can. If you think it may take you a while to get back into your high school study habits and intensify them up to university-level, you might want to start at your local community college.
Benefits of Starting at a Community College
Community colleges are often less expensive than other colleges and universities, and should be a fairly supportive environment accustomed to adult learners. The community college will probably give you an English and math placement test and should have some kind of 'study help center' on campus where you can get tutoring in subjects you have difficulty with. You can complete the first 2 years of your Bachelor’s degree at the community college and then transfer to a 4-year college, probably whichever campus of your state’s public university system has a transfer agreement with the community college to complete your degree.
Considerations for International Students
If you live in another country, you'll want to direct your question to other Quorans from your country who are familiar with your country's higher education system as each country's higher education arrangements for adult learners may vary. Good luck!
Finding the Right Path
The key to success after high school is understanding your options and making the best decision for you. Here are some key steps to help you start your college journey: Evaluate Your Goals: Determine what you want to achieve with your higher education.
