PSA State Community Colleges -- MD, RI, TN, CA, OR, NY

[monchevy]

Just a reminder for residents of the following states: Maryland, Rhode Island, Tennessee, California, New York, Oregon... Remember your state-funded community colleges have no tuition and fees are ridiculously cheap. California caps fees at $46 per unit making all classes under $150 each! New York goes as far as up to a 4-year degree.

Right now with COVID and everyone is online, it is a great time to take advantage of your local community college!

Show me the cheap OR CC tuition rates?

Yeah, as a New Yorker, I'd love to see all these freebies, too. State schools are hundreds of dollars per credit plus fees for residents, plus you have to go in person to get a certificate of residence signed by your country treasurer in order to even get that in-state resident tuition.

My local NYC colleges don't demand the certificate, but it's still hundreds of dollars per credit, plus fees.

That is a program open to a relatively few number of people, with dozens of stipulations. Which is very, very different from "no tuition and fees are ridiculously cheap." Our community colleges in NY have expensive tuition and expensive fees, as well as a lot of red tape to enroll. I've ended up taking classes at CCs in Kansas, Illinois and Arizona for less than half of what my state community colleges would cost. So just saying that post was really misleading about NY. Community college costs the proverbial arm and leg here, with a few vital organs thrown in.
