The numbers tell a mixed story here — a 44% graduation rate and 57% freshman retention rate suggest that many students who start here don't finish, which is a serious concern worth discussing before committing. On the positive side, median debt at graduation is a relatively low $15,000, and the small campus (421 undergrads) means you'll get personal attention that larger schools simply can't offer. That said, median earnings of $34,000 a decade out make it hard to justify the $30,841 annual net price, so this school makes the most sense if you have a specific reason to be here — a program fit, the learning support services, or the tight-knit environment — rather than as a default choice.
