Garrett College is a public community college in McHenry, Maryland. The college has three outreach centers: Accident, Grantsville, and Oakland.
Worth considering if you're looking for an affordable start — at just $6,396/year average net cost and a median debt of only $6,560 at graduation, the financial risk here is genuinely low. That said, the median earnings of $31,600 a decade after enrollment suggest most graduates aren't landing high-paying careers, so this makes the most sense as a stepping stone to a four-year school rather than a final destination.
