The numbers tell a mixed story here: at just $10,028/year after aid and a median debt of only $8,275, this is one of the most affordable college options you'll find anywhere. However, the 38% graduation rate is a real concern — fewer than 4 in 10 students finish, which suggests many struggle to complete, and median earnings of $35,300 a decade out are modest. Worth considering if you need an accessible, low-cost path to a degree and have a clear plan to stay on track, but go in with eyes open about the completion challenges.
