The College Cost Trap: How to Get the Same Degree for Half the Price

College is expensive. With tuition, housing, and fees, students can end up owing over $100,000 by the time they graduate. But what if there was a smarter, more affordable path?

Community colleges offer open access, flexibility, and low to no cost tuition for most students. You can explore different subjects, take your time finding your passion, and transfer to a four-year university, without breaking the bank.

The reality? Only 10% of a high school graduating class will go straight to a four-year university.

If you’re feeling pressure to jump straight into a university but aren’t sure you’re ready, consider this:

• Community college is often free for the first two years.
• You can take smaller classes with professors who are invested in your success.
• You’ll cut your costs in half by transferring after two years.
• It’s an opportunity for a fresh start, whether you were a top student or struggled in high school.
