Sure, I definitely can help you with that! Colorado is a wonderful state with many affordable college options. I'll list a few options that are known to be a good bang for your buck, but please remember to factor in not just tuition but also cost of living and potential financial aid when considering what will be most affordable for you.

1. Metropolitan State University of Denver: Known to be one of the less expensive public schools in Colorado, it offers a variety of majors and minors and is located in downtown Denver which can potentially offer a lot of off-campus job opportunities.

2. Adams State University: A more rural campus located in Alamosa, they're also known for being on the cheaper end for public universities. They have a particular focus on liberal arts studies.

3. Colorado Mountain College: With a variety of campuses in the Western Slope of Colorado, they offer 2-year and 4-year degrees at a reasonable price. Their tuition is significantly lower than national average.

Each of these schools also offers a variety of financial aid and scholarship options that can help bring the cost down further.

Lastly, while applying to colleges remember not to select a college only based on cost. It's important to consider factors like the programs offered, college culture, location, and future job prospects. Best of luck with your college search!
