Antioch College is a private liberal arts college in Yellow Springs, Ohio, United States. It was founded in 1850 by the Christian Connection and began operating in 1852 as a non-sectarian institution; politician and education reformer Horace Mann was its first president. The college is named after the ancient city of Antioch where the disciples of Jesus were first named as Christians.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: the net price is remarkably low at $6,602/year with median debt at graduation of just $6,518, making it one of the most affordable private college options you'll find. However, the 26% graduation rate and 61% freshman retention rate are serious red flags — most students who start here don't finish, which is worth weighing heavily regardless of the low cost. Worth considering only if you're deeply drawn to its progressive, self-directed liberal arts model and have a clear plan for staying engaged, since the data suggests many students don't.
