At the beginning of the 20th century, less than 1,000 colleges with 160,000 students existed in the US. The number of colleges skyrocketed in waves, during the early and mid 20th century. State universities grew from small institutions of fewer than 1,000 students to campuses with 40,000 more students, with networks of regional campuses around the state. In turn, regional campuses broke away and became separate universities. To handle the explosive growth of K–12 education, every state set up a network of teachers’ colleges, beginning with Massachusetts in the 1830s. After 1950, they became state colleges and then state universities with a broad curriculum. Major new trends included the development of the junior colleges. They were usually set up by city school systems starting in the 1920s. By the 1960s they were renamed as “community colleges.” Junior colleges grew from 20 in number in 1909, to 170 in 1919. By 1922, 37 states had set up 70 junior colleges, enrolling about 150 students each. Meanwhile, another 137 were privately operated, with about 60 students each. Rapid expansion continued in the 1920s, with 440 junior colleges in 1930 enrolling about 70,000 students. The peak year for private institutions came in 1949, when there were 322 junior colleges in all; 180 were affiliated with churches, 108 were independent and non-profit, and 34 were private schools being run for-profit. Many factors contributed to rapid growth of community colleges. Students parents and businessmen wanted nearby, low-cost schools to provide training for the growing white-collar labor force, as well as for more advanced technical jobs in the blue-collar sphere. Four-year colleges were also growing, albeit not as fast; however, many of them were located in rural or small-town areas away from the fast-growing metropolis. Community colleges continue as open-enrollment, low-cost institutions with a strong component of vocational education, as well as a low-cost preparation for transfer students into four-year schools. They appeal to a poorer, older, less prepared element.

請再次閱讀文章第四段關於四年制大學（Four-year colleges）與家長需求的描述：既然四年制大學大多位於遠離都市的「鄉村地區」，而當地社會卻急需「就近」的勞動力訓練，那麼為了滿足這些需求，新興的教育機構應該會傾向設立在什麼樣的地點，才能與傳統大學形成互補呢？

- 觀念驗證：文章第四段提到，當時四年制大學多位於「遠離大都會」的鄉村或小鎮（rural or small-town areas）。相對地，家長與企業主希望能有「就近（nearby）」的學校來訓練白領與藍領技術勞動力。因此，社區學院選擇設立在快速發展的大都會中心（fast-growing metropolis）正是為了填補這個地理與功能的空白。
