A Great Education Doesn’t Have to Mean Big Money

Florida Community College offers the same classes as state and local universities for about 40 percent less. We offer benefits the big U’s can’t — smaller class sizes, professors (not grad students) teaching courses, and a better focus (ours is on teaching, not research). Don’t forget to compare the “little” things like the cost of a parking sticker (ours comes included with your tuition).

It all adds up. When you’re done, you’ll be just as smart as a big U student except you’ll save thousands of dollars, which actually makes you smarter.
