The numbers tell a mixed story here: at just $9,148/year net price and a median graduation debt of only $5,000, this is one of the most affordable legitimate college options you'll find anywhere in the U.S. system. However, the 49% graduation rate is a real concern — nearly half of students who start don't finish — so you'll want to ask hard questions about academic support, life circumstances, and your own readiness before enrolling. Worth considering if cost is a major factor and you have a clear plan, but go in with eyes open about the completion challenge.
