Green River College is a public community college in Auburn, Washington, United States. It has a student body of over 13,000 and has satellite campuses in nearby cities of Kent and Enumclaw, Washington. The college primarily awards associates degrees but also offers 9 bachelor's degrees.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: at $12,447/year average net price and just $7,125 in median debt at graduation, this is one of the more affordable paths through college you'll find. However, only 41% of students graduate, which means you'll want to go in with a clear plan and strong support system — nearly 6 in 10 students don't finish, and that's worth taking seriously. If you're cost-conscious, transfer-focused, or pursuing a two-year credential, it's a reasonable choice; just know that the $42,000 median earnings at 10 years out reflects a ceiling you may want to push past with a four-year degree down the road.
