Looking For An Affordable College? Montana Has 5 Great Options.

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.

I'm totally aware that the majority of Montanans grow up either wanting to be a Bobcat or a Griz. I mean, both campuses are beautiful and both schools offer a great education as well as a wonderful "college experience" for their students. However, for some Montana families, the price tag might be too much, and if there is the case, we have some wonderful options here in The Treasure State.

Stacker came out with a list of the 5 Best Community Colleges in Montana, so if you're looking to get your general studies out of the way on a budget, you might want to look into one of the 5 schools below.

#5. Highlands College of Montana Tech (Butte)

#4. Great Falls College - Montana State University (Great Falls)

#3. Helena College - University of Montana (Helena)

#2. Miles Community College (Miles City)

#1. Flathead Valley Community College (Kalispell)

There are several 2-year degrees that offer a very nice starting salary, or there is always the option of transferring to a 4-year school after receiving your two-year degree to continue your education.

Whatever you choose, it's certainly nice to have options.
