Southwest Mississippi Community College is a public community college in unincorporated Pike County, Mississippi, in Summit, Mississippi

The numbers tell a mixed story here: at just $3,057 per year after aid, this is one of the most affordable college options you'll find anywhere, making it a genuinely smart choice for students who want to minimize debt while completing general education or vocational coursework close to home. The concern worth noting is that median earnings of $32,100 a decade after enrollment are modest, so this works best as a stepping stone — either to a four-year transfer or a specific trade — rather than a final destination on its own.
