We all know that living in Montana is expensive.

From housing to fuel and from utilities to groceries, everything seems to be increasing in cost, which means that folks are having to stretch their dollar further.  For some, that doesn't seem to be a problem, but for most of us, it's a much bigger challenge.

It seems many of us are looking for ways to save every dollar we can, and one of the ways we can do that is through Community College.
