Most Expensive County College?

Hey guys, looking for a bit of trivia. What's the most expensive county college out there? Has anyone stumbled upon info regarding this?

a year ago

The cost of tuition and fees at community colleges can vary widely from one state to another and even within the same county or state. So naming the "most expensive" county college is not straightforward without specifying whether we are considering out-of-state or in-state tuition fees.

That said, one of the more expensive community colleges for out-of-state students is Santa Monica College in California. For the academic year 2024-2025, the out-of-state tuition is about $11,220, not including room and board and other fees, which can raise the cost significantly.

However, it is essential to note that tuition costs alone shouldn't deter you. Numerous financial aid opportunities are available, like grants, scholarships, and work-study programs, which significantly reduce the actual cost. Also, attending a community college, even a pricier one, can still be a more cost-effective way to complete the first two years of a bachelor's degree.
