About This School
Clinton College is a private nonprofit institution located in Rock Hill, South Carolina with approximately 126 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $11,458 per year. The graduation rate is 14%, and the typical graduate earns $26,500 within 10 years of enrollment.
The numbers here are genuinely concerning — only 11% of students graduate, and just 36% of freshmen return for sophomore year, suggesting most students don't finish what they start. The net price of $14,501/year is relatively affordable, and debt at graduation is low at $12,000, but median earnings of $26,500 a decade after enrolling make it hard to see a strong financial return. Unless you have a very specific reason this school fits your situation, the data points toward exploring other options first.
