The numbers tell a mixed story here — the relatively low median debt at graduation ($9,500) is a genuine plus, but median earnings of just $30,000 a decade out raise real questions about return on investment, especially with a net price of $26,403 per year. Worth considering if you're drawn to a small, close-knit environment (413 students) and plan to transfer or use this as a stepping stone, since Louisburg is a two-year college where the community feel can be a real asset for students who need more personal support than a large university offers.
