North Country Community College is a public community college in Saranac Lake, New York. It is part of the State University of New York system. Founded in 1967, the college's main campus is located in Saranac Lake, New York, and it has additional locations in Malone and Ticonderoga. The college is sponsored by Franklin and Essex counties.
The numbers tell a reasonable story here — median debt at graduation is just $9,500, which is genuinely low, and the $11,690 annual net price makes this one of the more affordable paths into higher education in New York. That said, median earnings of $33,900 a decade out are modest, so this school makes the most sense as a stepping stone toward transfer or a specific vocational goal, not necessarily a destination in itself. Worth considering if you're cost-conscious, staying in the North Country region, or planning to transfer to a four-year SUNY school down the road.
