The numbers tell a mixed story here — while the median debt at graduation is remarkably low at $4,750 and the net price of ~$18K/year is manageable, the 27% graduation rate and 43% freshman retention rate are serious red flags that suggest many students struggle to finish. Worth considering only if you have a clear plan for staying enrolled and ideally have spoken directly with current students or advisors about what support is available on this small, 573-student campus.
