Can Universities Expand Student Enrollment While Cutting Operating Costs?

Yes — and Campuswire CEO Tade Oyerinde shares how.

“Now struggle, I think, is often the precursor to massive innovation. My hope is that the silver lining to this whole situation is that innovation will come not just from the private sector — from companies like Campuswire–– but that these existing institutions will say, “hold on guys, we need a Hail Mary. We need something completely new. Throw out the playbook, and let’s figure out how to solve some of these problems that we’ve only spoken about solving for decades.”

Campuswire CEO & Forbes 30 under 30 winner Tade Oyerinde shares his thoughts on the future of education.

after 2 years in community college, I recently graduated with three AA degrees and a 3.9 GPA. the last two years have been so transformative for me, with so many ups and downs! so as requested by my followers, here’s some FAQ insight into how I did it and what my experience was like. also, disclaimer: I’m pretty sure CC’s are an american institution so if you don’t live in the US I’m not sure what the equivalent option would be lol.

Q: why did you choose to go to CC?

A: there are many reasons people choose to go to CC- one of the most common reasons is to save money. another reason is that CC’s are commonly attended by students who could nor/did not get accepted into 4-year universities after high school. my case was both! I got into 2/6 unis I applied to out of high school, but I decided I’d rather save money and go to a CC to try to get into my dream uni rather than settle for a uni I didn’t really want to go to for 4 years. CC’s are also a great place to go to if you want to continue your education but you’re not exactly sure what you’d like to major in.

Q: how much time do you need to spend in CC in order to transfer?

A: it depends on your ability to accumulate credits, transfer courses, and your major. some people take 3-5 years, some people take 1. I was able to finish in 2 years, which included taking some classes over semester break. this means when I start at my uni I’ll be in my 3rd year.

Q: do you have any tips for CC students?

A: see a counselor/coach/advisor on a regular basis! I know it can get scary talking about your future but this truly reduced so much anxiety and usually they’re very nice and helpful. this was essential to my success in graduating after 2 years; the first time I set up a  meeting with my counselor was the first week of class. I used to visit my transfer counselor at least once a month during transfer application season. come in with questions about transferring, the classes you need to take for your major, or literally anything you want to ask about the school! these people are here to help you.

also: get a planner, check for online versions of textbooks before you buy the hardcopy, and go to your freshman orientation!
