College of the Siskiyous (COS) is a public community college with campuses in Weed and Yreka in Siskiyou County in Northern California. It is part of the California Community Colleges System, serving as the northernmost college in the state of California and the only college in Siskiyou County. The college is in the service area of California State University, Chico and one of only eleven community colleges in California that provide on-campus housing for students.
Worth considering if you're looking for an affordable start close to home — at just $7,241/year net price and only $8,000 in median debt at graduation, the financial picture is genuinely manageable for a community college. That said, median earnings of $32,000 a decade out are modest, so think carefully about your transfer or career plan, since this school works best as a stepping stone to a four-year university like nearby CSU Chico rather than a terminal degree. The on-campus housing option is a rare perk for a California community college, making it a realistic choice even for students who can't commute.
