The numbers tell a mixed story here: at just $11,268/year net price and $14,250 median debt, the affordability is genuinely strong, but a 46% graduation rate and 63% freshman retention rate suggest many students struggle to finish — worth asking honestly whether the support systems are a good fit for you. Median earnings of $41,900 a decade out are modest but reasonable given the low debt load, making this a defensible choice financially if you do complete your degree. Worth considering if you're cost-conscious and have a clear plan, but go in with eyes open about the retention challenges and look hard at what resources are available in your specific program.
