The numbers tell a mixed story here: at just $14,873/year net price and $16,722 in median debt, this small public liberal arts college in rural Maine is genuinely affordable, but a 53% graduation rate means roughly half of students who start don't finish — worth asking hard questions about why. Median earnings of $37,500 a decade out are modest, so this fits best if you're drawn to teaching, social work, or public service fields where the low debt load matters more than a high salary ceiling.
