Washington County Community College (WCCC) is a public community college in Calais in Washington County, Maine. The college is on a hillside overlooking the St. Croix River Valley at the edge of a 400-acre (1.6 km2) campus of mature woods and fields.
The numbers tell a genuinely encouraging story on cost — at just $3,994/year after aid and a median debt of only $5,500 at graduation, this is one of the most affordable college options you'll find anywhere. The concern worth naming is that median earnings sit at $31,600 a decade out, which is modest, so this school makes the most sense if you're pursuing a specific local career path, transferring to a four-year college, or need an affordable entry point into higher education without taking on serious debt.
