'Community' Was Based on a Real-Life College
With six seasons under its belt and a film on the horizon, Community is well known for having some of the goofiest, and most endearing, characters doing fun off-the-wall things in probably the least professional college setting imaginable: Greendale Community College, where you can take a class on literally anything and the school flag features a butt.
Greendale’s campus might look normal at first glance, but here you’ll find a student in a top hat sporting star-shaped sideburns, a psychotic Spanish teacher turned student turned dictator turned amnesiac turned student again, and the most overexcited dean you’ll ever see. Anything can happen at Greendale. The possibilities are literally limitless, and that doesn’t just go for the main cast, dubbed the Greendale Seven: Jeff , Britta , Abed , Troy , Annie , Shirley , Chang , and Pierce .
While community colleges differ from universities in several ways, one of the most helpful differences is that of rolling admissions, which lend more flexibility to those with busy lives or hectic schedules than the strict deadlines of four-year universities. As a result, you can typically find a diverse group of students that aren’t constricted by age, gender, religion, etc.
