Looking for an affordable college option? Consider starting your education at community college.

As we’ve written before, attending a community college for two years before transferring to a 4-year college or university is a great way to save money on your college education.

And now, thanks to a generous donation from two of its alumni, one community college in Rochester, NY has made that option even more attractive.

After graduating from MCC, Timothy transferred to Cornell University to study business administration, and now has a career in the pharmaceuticals industry. Both he and his wife were the first in their families to attend college.
