The numbers tell a mixed story here: at just $8,174/year after aid, the cost is genuinely affordable, but a 14% graduation rate and 54% freshman retention rate suggest most students don't finish — which raises serious questions about fit, support, or program completion. This is a highly specialized yeshiva serving a specific Orthodox Jewish community, so if that aligns with your background and goals, the low cost makes it worth a closer look; if you're expecting a traditional degree path with strong career outcomes, median earnings of $30,500 a decade out should give you pause.
