Cost of Spokane Community College?

Hello, I have been thinking of applying to Spokane Community College. I was hoping to get a rough estimate of the overall cost, not just tuition but also of housing, food etc. Anyone got any idea?

Hello! The cost of attending Spokane Community College can indeed involve more than just tuition. Let's break down the different components:

1. Tuition: As of the 2024-2025 academic year, if you're an in-state resident, the tuition comes to $5,460 annually. If you're coming from out-of-state, the tuition increases to $6,612 annually.

2. Housing & Food: Spokane Community College does not provide on-campus housing, so you'll need to arrange for off-campus living. Depending on the location and type of accommodation you choose in Spokane as well as preparing your own meals, you might spend an estimated $17,310 per year for housing and food expenses.

4. Books and Supplies: The estimated cost for books and supplies is about $1,134 annually.

5. Other Personal Expenses: Depending on your lifestyle, personal expenses including clothing, entertainment, transportation, etc. can vary widely. A rough estimate is somewhere in the range of $2,000 to $3,000 annually.

Please keep in mind that these are rough estimates and actual costs can vary based on factors such as your lifestyle, spending habits, and the specific location of your housing. Also remember to factor in the possibility of financial aid, scholarships, or working part-time, which can help offset some of these expenses.
