I know community colleges are generally cheaper than universities, but I'm curious nevertheless: do you guys know which community colleges are the priciest?
The cost of community colleges can vary quite greatly depending on where they are located and whether you're attending as an in-state student or an out-of-state student. Here are some of the more expensive community colleges based on out-of-state tuition:
1. Santa Barbara City College in California: Santa Barbara is known to be one of the more expensive community colleges with an out-of-state tuition fee reaching around $8,000 per year.
2. Miami Dade College in Florida: On the other side of the country, Miami Dade has a similar out-of-state tuition, averaging around $8,000 per year.
3. Monroe Community College in New York: Monroe can reach up to $10,000 for out-of-state students which is significantly more expensive than many others.
Remember, these are based on out-of-state tuition, in-state tuition is usually much less. Additionally, the costs can also differ based on a student's program of study, course load, and other factors such as housing and supplies. However, even the most expensive community colleges are often considerably cheaper than four-year colleges and universities.
