Tuition, Cost & Aid

as i mentioned earlier, for only 26 bucks a unit right now its worth the money to stay home for a year, save your money until you can go to the school of your dreams. that is what i am doing right now. i plan on going to the Culinary Institute of America after i get my associates degree. also as i mentioned earlier one of my math teachers was also a teacher at UCR. meaning that i am getting the same education as the university twenty minuets down the free way, but for much cheaper. i would really recommend RCC for your first two years, at least one year of college. also there are many free services on campus. there is a free nurse, psychologist and counseling on campus. the only thing expensive about this school are the books! if you buy all of your books brand new from the book store you would spend more money on the books than the actually class! you can find out what books you need for your classes after you register at the online sight for the bookstore, then you can go to chegg.com and rent your books for almost a fourth of the cost! plus chegg lets you plant a tree somewhere in the world for your good doings!

I'm not sure if the cost per unit has changed from $26, but if the price has not changed then a loaded 18 units comes out to only $468 a semester. I'm about to transfer to a 4-year university where the semester costs about 4 times that. So the price for RCC is definitely not ridiculous when looked at in context. You can also apply for the Board of Governors Enrollment Fee Waiver (BOGW) which actually waives the cost of units every semester (something that I used and saved tons of money with).

The life that surrounds Riverside City College is unforgettable. It leaves a feeling of pride to be apart of a community that supports the success of its alumni. Pictures throughout the hall embrace the graduates who transferred pr graduated from this college. It is certainly a place to hold high as an institution.

Riverside City College is just an affordable community college that new students should take advantage of. Who can say no to a nice campus, student life, great classes and teachers all while saving thousands of dollars.

RCC offers lower tuition fees than 4 year colleges.

Great price for education. Most of the professors at RCC have their PHD's and you receive the same level of education you probably would in the first two years of most four year colleges.

The cost per unit is very awesome. Though I believe it is being changed to $36 a unit, that is a great savings when compared to universities down the way. An average class will cost you 108 with this new change in mind. Student fees are $36 a semester, but this includes free health services, snacks on Tuesday and being able to use your id card as a bus pass. The food is alright in prices, more than in the stores but kind of reasonable if you need something now. Textbooks get up there, I had a math book that was around $194.50. But look on Craigslist or order them early from Amazon.com as you can find them much cheaper. You can also rent them for half price. When it comes time to sell them, sell them to student for around 75% of what you paid. There are areas to post flyers and don't sell to the bookstore, they will by them for less than 40% of what you paid originally.

Financial aid is very helpful and they will assist you with your classes even though you don't qualify for a pell grant.

As a college student you will spend a lot of money on books, school supplies, and of course classes. At RCC they make it really easy to apply for scholarships and financial aid if you need to. They have a low cost to books and class credits.

For a community college it had the traditional low prices, although they have raised them in the past years because of budget cuts the prices are still significantly lower than your traditional university.
