This is a solid, affordable option if you're looking to start your college journey without taking on major debt — at just $5,500 in median graduation debt and under $8,000/year in net cost, the financial picture is genuinely accessible. The tradeoff is that median earnings sit at $33,300 a decade out, which is modest, so it's worth thinking carefully about whether your intended career path and transfer or degree plans align with that reality. Best suited for students focused on workforce entry, local opportunities, or transferring to a four-year school while keeping costs low.
