Kids are going back to school, which means some are thinking about what's coming up in a year or two: college! Some students go to a 4-year college, others decide college isn't for them, and some decide to go to a community college. It seems like community colleges are becoming more and more popular which makes this study even more important. Wallethub released its rankings of all of the community colleges across the country and one in the top 15 is in Minnesota!

There are TONS of community colleges around the country so it's really impressive that a Minnesota community college made the top 15. There's actually a total of 685 community colleges that Wallethub ranked in this study. So being in the top 15 or even the top 100 is impressive.

I did not go to a community college but I know quite a few friends who did and they really enjoyed it. Community college was just a better fit for them, which is an important thing to figure out when deciding what to do beyond college is finding the right fit for you.
