About This School
Davis College is a private nonprofit institution located in Pottersville, New York with approximately 88 undergraduate students enrolled. The school is moderately selective, accepting approximately 33% of applicants. The average net price after financial aid is $14,320 per year. The graduation rate is 39%, and the typical graduate earns $33,400 within 10 years of enrollment.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: a 100% freshman retention rate sounds promising, but only 39% of students actually graduate, which is a serious red flag worth pressing the school on before enrolling. The net price of $14,320/year is genuinely affordable, and the $17,290 median debt is relatively modest, but median earnings of $33,400 a decade out suggest limited financial upside for most graduates. Worth considering only if you have a very specific reason this tiny 88-person school fits your goals — otherwise, the graduation rate alone should send you shopping elsewhere.
