WalletHub

MIAMI — With Americans struggling financially due to significant inflation and a year of community college nearly three times less expensive than a year at a public four-year college, the personal-finance company WalletHub released its report on 2025’s Best & Worst Community Colleges, coupled with its state-by-state ranking of the Best & Worst Community-College Systems, as well as expert commentary.

Three of the top-20 ranked community colleges are in Kansas, including Colby Community College.

To determine where students can receive the best education at the cheapest rates, WalletHub compared more than 650 community colleges across 18 key indicators of cost and quality. The data set ranges from the cost of in-state tuition and fees to student-faculty ratio to graduation rate.
