Question

What is an average 2 year college tuiton plus books?

Answer 1

This depends on which state you are in and whether the two-year college is a private vocational school or a state institution. Fees vary by state and by the type of school you are attending. Typically, state schools are much cheaper than private or vocational schools.

For example: California Community Colleges have fees of $20 per unit, plus $16 health fee, $1 student activity fee.

Now books are a whole other story. That depends on what classes you're taking and the individual instructor, considering that they are the ones who have jurisdiction to choose which text book will be used. If you are taking general education courses and are full-time, I would estimate that you should expect to pay approximately $500-$700 per semester on books.
