Costs
For many international students, a major attraction of community
colleges is their low cost.
Tuition and fees at colleges do vary based on the program
of study and whether the college is public or private. Nevertheless,
the cost of attending a two-year institution is usually lower
than that of a four-year college in the same geographic area.
This is the case even for international students attending
public community colleges where all out-of-state students
must pay a higher rate than state residents. The economic
advantage of two-year colleges is difficult to ignore.
