Everyone knows community college tuition costs less than four-year colleges and universities. Community college tuition in California is cheaper by a country mile, for sure. While huge, college tuition savings are just the beginning of the money-saving good news. Housing costs, food costs, and parking costs all need to be factored in, as well, and those really add up.
Maximizing the financial benefit of community college with a full on-campus experience by attending a college such as Columbia College in Sonora, California is even smarter money. Independently owned and operated by California Student Housing, on-campus living there saves students on costs associated with parking and rent over comparable housing costs at a 4-year college. Costs of eating can be even more dramatically reduced as each unit has its own kitchen. Preparing homemade meals can be as much as 75% cheaper than eating out. And it’s never too soon for college students to learn meal planning and how to budget for groceries.
Combined with financial benefits of transfer agreements between community colleges, UCs and CSUs, students find that all the additional benefits of on-campus living at community college is where the smart money is.
