About This School
College Unbound is a private nonprofit institution located in Providence, Rhode Island with approximately 398 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $19,116 per year.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: median debt at graduation is a genuinely low $7,690, which is a real financial win for students who complete the program. However, the 57% freshman retention rate is a significant concern — it suggests that more than 4 in 10 students leave before their second year, which is worth asking hard questions about before enrolling. Worth considering if you're drawn to its project-based, nontraditional model and have a clear sense of self-direction, but look closely at whether students with your background tend to finish.
