A college that primarily offers 2-3 year diploma programs; often refereed to rather condescendingly as junior college. In Canada, Community College is generally known simply as College while four-year degree programs are normally taught only at a University.
Generally, focuses on a more practical, hands on approach rather then a theory heavy approach. Also has much less focus on the academic subjects and more on technical ones (although most programs will have at least some academic subjects but they’re not the focus).
Usually costs far less then a four-year degree program type of college and is often a more practical option for people that don’t want tens of thousands of dollars in debt from student loans.
People tend to look down on community college because of its technical focus rather then academic focus. They seem to feel that anyone not strong academically is stupid. People that think this way seem to forget that not everyone is academically inclined and everyone learns differently (hence, why there are different options for education).
Many go to Community College because they cannot afford the privilege of going (away) to a four-year college or university.
In short, Community College is another option for education that has a technical rather then academic focus.

I went to Community College because I wanted a technical, hands on approach that woulden't leave me tens of thousands on dollars in debt.

The most boring place to get your education. The classes are bland, the people are stupid, and getting a true college experience is nearly impossible. Generally, all of the ghetto fuck boy clowns from high school go to community college thinking they're gonna party and have a great time, but then realize they have nothing to do, especially since their retarded friends are no longer following them everywhere. Basically a place for lifeless, hopeless university rejects. Thank god i only have to go for one semester!
Person 1: Dude hows community college?
Person 2: Bruh it blows. Its so fuckin boring Im surrounded by rejects

A place where you can get college credit for less money and then transfer over to a real college after you complete a bunch of required courses and then you get your degree.
Dumbass: "Pshh, community college is for dumb people, I go to a state school"
Smart Community College Student: "I'm getting the same credit for way less money, good luck with all that extra owed money on loans dipshit."

A lower education which 1.5 million students in the U.S. attend. You can earn a useless associate degree and become a college loser and earn a bad paying job. Also students from around the world attend. Community college professors lack real world experience and some have graduated from the least prestigious University's in the states. Most community college's are even worse than some University's in terms of professors, cost, class size, and learning environment.
" A Community College student has two worst selling unpublished books, a passport without stamps from around the world. His real life world experience and knowledge was because he got a poor education at a Community College."
"A person who attends the most prestigious University right after high school has just bought out Google."

A place where one supposedly furthers his educational prowess after High School and at the end can receive either an AA degree or transfer to a 4-year university. These places can be nice but the majority of them are pretty terrible. They allow virtually anyone into the schools, even if the people are members of the Westboro Baptist Church, the Ku Klux Klan, members of cults such as Scientology, or uneducated, uncultured rednecks. They seriously can't turn anyone down since most of these places are located in politically correct places that's filled to the core with morons.
A community college is a place where the majority of lazy people, insane people and stupid people can be found mostly congregating and these places allow anyone into admission. Being in these places can cause your IQ to drop.
