The numbers tell a mixed story here — while the average net price of $23,758/year is manageable and median debt at graduation is a relatively low $15,795, the 43% graduation rate and 60% freshman retention rate suggest a significant number of students either struggle to finish or choose to leave. Worth considering if you're drawn to a small, close-knit campus and a specific program Tiffin excels in, but ask hard questions about academic support and what's driving that attrition before committing.
