The numbers tell a mixed story here: the 66% graduation rate means roughly 1 in 3 students who start don't finish, which is worth taking seriously before committing. On the upside, the average net price of $20,800/year is genuinely affordable for a private college, and the small campus (just over 1,000 undergrads) means real access to professors and individual attention. That said, median earnings of $47,200 a decade out are modest, so students should go in with a clear plan for how their degree connects to a career.
