Northwest College is a public community college off Wyoming Highway 295 in Powell, Wyoming, United States.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: at just $7,394/year net cost and a remarkably low median debt of $6,500 at graduation, this small Wyoming community college is genuinely affordable. However, the 44% graduation rate is a real concern — nearly half of students don't finish — so if you enroll, go in with a clear plan and strong support system. Worth considering if cost is your top priority and you're committed to completing, but the $37,200 median earnings at 10 years suggest this works best as a launching pad to further education or a specific local career, not an endpoint.
