  • (amount for on-campus room, board and other expenses * # of students living on-campus.
  • + amount for off-campus (with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus with family
  • + amount for off-campus (not with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus not with family)

What Students Are Saying

College of the Redwoods is a great community college to attend if you are interested in small class sizes and an intimate learning environment. The teachers here love to help and will always write a wonderful letter of recommendation! I have recently graduated, but I plan on coming back to visit my teachers in the future!
Reaia from Arcata, CA
College Of The Redwoods is a very nice campus: it borders the woods and has several beautiful ponds where ducks and other birds often reside. The teachers are very nice and friendly, as well as easy to get along with. The classes are nice, not exactly hard, but fun to be apart of.
