The numbers tell a mixed story here: a 99% acceptance rate and relatively low median debt at graduation ($9,500) make it accessible, but a 43% graduation rate and 55% freshman retention rate suggest many students don't finish — a real concern worth taking seriously. Worth considering if you're drawn to the Miami area, want a small Catholic university environment with under 2,000 undergrads, and have a clear plan to stay enrolled and finish; the $60,500 median earnings at 10 years are decent, but only if you actually get the degree.
