ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Work college

Okay kiddo, let me explain what "work college" means. A work college is a special kind of college where students don't just go to classes and study, they also work together to help run the school.

Now, why do they work? Well, it's because work colleges believe that there are some really important things you can learn by working and being a part of a community. For example, you can learn teamwork, leadership, and responsibility. Plus, by working at the college, students can also help make the school a better place for everyone.

So how does it work? At a work college, students might work in different areas like the library, the dining hall, or even the admissions office. They usually get paid for their work, but the money they earn goes towards their tuition so they can help pay for college.

But work colleges aren't just about working - they still have classes and professors just like any other college. The difference is that students also get to apply what they learn in the classroom to their work and the other activities they do around the college.

In short, a work college is a special kind of college where students learn both in and out of the classroom by working together and earning money to help pay for their education. Cool, huh?
