Community colleges in U.S.A.
local resident: about US$300 each subject, e.g. if you take 4 subjects per semester, it is approx. US$1,200 for the tution fees per semester, you can take less than or more than 4 subjects per semester.
oversea student: It may be more than a double, i.e. about US$600 each subject.
If you are holding a green card, you are considered to be a local resident, plus some evidences supporting you. The systems for the community colleges in different states of USA are almost the same.
Of course, you need to buy the text books at the price range of US$70 to US$150 per text book. There is no way that you can borrow from the community colleges's libraries for the text books. However, you can buy it from the
www.amazon.com on line on the 1st day of school when the professors announce the title of the text books to be used. The prices offered by AMAZON are cheaper. I do it the same always (as the buyer and seller, by registering an account). You can also buy the used text books from the bookshop of the community colleges. Anyway, you can make the comparision between AMAZON and the bookshop.
For details of the tution fees, please go to the official website of USA:
