Red Rocks Community College (RRCC) is a public community college with two campuses located in Lakewood and Arvada, Colorado.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: the $4,900 median debt at graduation is impressively low, and a $9,356 average net price makes this one of the more affordable paths to a credential in Colorado. That said, the 37% graduation rate is a real concern — most students who start here don't finish, so you'll want to honestly assess what support systems you'll need to be in that minority. Worth considering if you're cost-conscious and have a clear plan, but go in with eyes open about the completion challenge.
