Five Towns College is a private college in Dix Hills, New York. The college's degree programs focus on music, media, and the performing arts.

The numbers tell a mixed story here: while median debt at graduation is a manageable $12,750, the 49% graduation rate means roughly half of students who start don't finish, which is a real concern. If you're seriously focused on music, media, or performing arts and want a small, specialized environment (just 533 undergrads), this could be a fit — but given median earnings of only $40,100 a decade out, you'll want a clear plan for how your specific degree translates to a career before committing.
