North Shore Community College is a public community college in Massachusetts with campuses in Danvers and Lynn.

This is a strong option for cost-conscious students: at just $7,321/year after aid and a median debt of only $5,500 at graduation, it's one of the more affordable paths to a degree or transfer in the region. The concern worth noting is that median earnings sit at $38,600 ten years out, which is modest — so students should think carefully about their specific program and whether it leads to a career with stronger earning potential or a clear transfer pathway to a four-year school.
