The numbers tell a mixed story here: a 41% graduation rate and 62% freshman retention rate suggest many students struggle to finish, which is a real concern worth discussing before enrolling. On the positive side, median debt at graduation is a manageable $17,340, and the modest size (about 1,050 undergrads) means more personalized attention than you'd get at a large university. Worth considering if you have a clear plan and strong support system, but ask the admissions office directly about what resources exist to help students stay on track.
