Its cheaper but not worth it. Rather spend $20,000 on a Great education, rather then $4,000 on degree that will take FOREVER to get.

TriCounty has a pretty good record of taking advantage of students and making it nearly impossible for them to claim their scholarships and financial aid. They will try their best to charge you as much as possible for school. For example I have been in South Carolina on and off for years. I graduated high school in South Carolina and had a life scholarship and a Wiley (which was Clemson based). I was denied my life scholarship because I attended a college outside of South Carolina before TriCounty and was denied my Wiley for the same reason (although Clemson denied that one). I was also denied residency status for the simple fact that I'm too poor to own anything, so of course the solution is to charge the poor people two to three times as much for school so they'll have to take out loans so that when they graduate they'll still be poor, got to keep us in our place right? Anyway their organization sucks and you really have to watch your financial aid, because they have made mistakes before, giving too much to some students, but only informing those students of it at the end of the semester and demanding they pay back the access (which they've already spent) before they will allow said student to return to TriCounty. They are pretty disorganized and in my opinion unfair.

Compared to going straight to a four-year institution, you will save a ton of money!

Very affordable! With my state financial aid, I only had to pay $52 for the first semester.

Nice area
