Glenville State University (GSU) is a public college in Glenville, West Virginia, United States.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: at $16,358/year average net price and just $11,123 in median debt at graduation, the financial burden is genuinely low — a real plus for cost-conscious students. However, the 35% graduation rate and 63% freshman retention rate signal that most students who start here don't finish, which deserves serious attention before enrolling. Worth considering only if you have a clear plan, strong support systems, and realistic expectations about outcomes, as median earnings of $38,400 a decade out leave little room for error financially.
