Join us for a Google Hangout with three community college professors visiting from the United States to learn more about this category of U.S. higher education institutions. 

Here are the questions answered during the Hangout.

1.)    Can you tell me the difference between a community college and a university?
2.)    What do you mean by flexible curriculum?  Is there someone who will help me select my courses? 
3.)    I think community college might be a good option for me, but I want to transfer to another school later.  Will schools accept all of my credits as a transfer student?
4.)    What is the social life like at community colleges?  Is it true that most students do not live on campus?
5.)    Are there scholarships available to community colleges?
6.)    Do your schools have international students?  Do other students like to hang out or study with international students?
