    Very cheap tuition, and the cost of living in the area is low. Also, they have a job placement program which is very helpful.

    I am a high school so my college fees are waived. I only have to pay $20 a semester for all my classes! But otherwise if you are a CA resident, it's $46 per unit which is not bad at all.

    You can actually sign up to have the school give you a job on campus if you fall under the guidelines for it. Very helpful and cool.

    Prices are raising, but California community college students still pay the lowest amount in the country. You can't really ask for more at Columbia.
