  • Depends on where you are – in NYC, probably not. In rural anywhere, probably enough.

  • some CC cost more than others

    the cheapest one in our state is @ $100 per credit hour
    the most expensive on in our state is @ $200 per credit hour

    there are some in Cali that are $30 per credit hour

    and our state does not give “fee waivers”, your state might

    if you are in a state without fee waivers, then the amount will be used to cover tuition & fees first then anything else you charge to your fin aid (for example books)

    we have no way of knowing how expensive your tuition is & what other fin aid is available to you… with that, no way to estimate if this is enough or not

  • Its more than enough. im currently at a community college and our tuition is about $46 per unit. I get a fee waiver which pays for my classes so i only paid a insurance fee ata bout $30.

    even with that i got about $3,750 of financial aid and i spent about no more than $500 on books and saved the rest for summer classes and bought a laptop and some nice things like clothes for myself.

    So yes its enough 🙂
