This is a solid option for students seeking a tight-knit Christian liberal arts experience near Boston, with a manageable net price of around $24,800/year and a student body small enough that you won't get lost. The 68% graduation rate is a bit below average, which is worth asking about on a campus visit — it suggests a meaningful number of students don't finish, for whatever reason. Median earnings of $47,700 a decade out aren't high, so students should think carefully about their major and career plans relative to the $23,250 in typical debt they'll carry out the door.
