The numbers tell a mixed story here — a 57% graduation rate and 63% freshman retention rate suggest a meaningful share of students either leave or don't finish, which is worth taking seriously before enrolling. On the positive side, median debt at graduation is a relatively modest $19,463, and the small campus (592 students) can offer genuine personal attention that larger schools can't. Worth considering if you're drawn to a tight-knit liberal arts environment and have a clear plan to stay engaged, but make sure to ask hard questions about support services during your visit.
