Informasi singkat Foothill and De Anza College:

Foothill and De Anza are two community colleges offering the first two years of a university Bachelor's degree on two campuses located in the heart of Silicon Valley. We are one system with two locations that are five minutes apart. De Anza has a total enrollment of 24,000, and Foothill has 18,000 students. Together, we enroll 2,500 international students from almost 100 countries and are very popular with students coming from Indonesia. Both of our colleges rank among the top community colleges in the U.S., and we are charter members of the prestigious League for Innovation in Community Colleges. Students study with us for two years, and then transfer into their third year at the university to complete their Bachelor's degree. Currently, 47% of all students in the United States who begin higher education do so at a community college.

There are four primary reasons so many do this. First, it costs a lot less. The annual tuition is around $5,500US per year. Second, admission is a lot more flexible. We're looking for students with at least a 61 (Next Generation) or 173 (computer-based) or 500 (paper-based) TOEFL and average or better results from secondary school. For Indonesians educated in the British system, we will accept "O" level students. Third, the class sizes are small, and are all taught by regular professors, not teaching assistants like in universities. There is considerably more individualized attention both within the classroom and through the extra support that we offer just for international students. And fourth, and most important, it's easier to get into the third year of a highly selective university than it is to get into the first year, especially if a student is transferring with good grades from a highly regarded community college like Foothill or De Anza. We are #1 in transfer to the University of California and California State University systems and will be sending 70 international students this fall to Berkeley. That's far more than any other community college! In addition, last year we sent almost 40 to UCLA, almost 20 to USC, and others to Stanford, Yale, Carnegie Mellon, Columbia, Cornell, Georgetown and Northwestern! So, Foothill or De Anza end up being a great way to complete the first two undergraduate years at less expense, and transfer to earn a Bachelor's degree from competitive American university!
