community college student

Two-year school attendee

A community college student is someone enrolled at a two-year public institution that typically offers associate degrees, vocational certificates, and transfer programs to four-year universities.

Community colleges serve students of varied ages and backgrounds, often those balancing work or family obligations: Many community college students are the first in their families to pursue higher education.

The term sometimes carries class connotations, though community colleges provide accessible education to millions.
