This school is best suited for students who need an affordable, close-to-home starting point — particularly those who are still figuring out their direction or who need to balance college with work or family responsibilities. At $11,286 per year in average net cost, it's one of the more accessible options in Ohio, and a median salary of $55,400 ten years out suggests graduates do find their footing financially. That said, the numbers here deserve a hard look: a 25% graduation rate and a 53% freshman retention rate mean most students who start here don't finish here, which is a significant red flag worth understanding before enrolling. This isn't necessarily a reason to rule it out, but it does mean you should ask directly what support systems exist for students who are struggling academically or personally. If you're considering this campus, treat it as a strategic stepping stone — go in with a clear plan, connect with an advisor in your first week, and know what your transfer or completion path looks like from day one.
