Thirty New York schools made it on WalletHub's recently released list of best and worst community colleges in 2025.
The personal finance company compared over 650 community colleges across 18 metrics ranging from cost of in-state tuition fees to graduation rate and New York was ranked No. 20 out of all 50 states' community-college systems.
"A good community college minimizes costs for students while also providing an enriching learning experience that leads to high student retention and high graduation rates," WalletHub analyst Chip Lupo says. "The best colleges also help their students even post-graduation by offering employment services to help them find jobs with good salaries."
