The numbers tell a mixed story here: a 55% graduation rate and 68% freshman retention rate suggest a meaningful share of students don't finish, which is worth taking seriously before enrolling. On the positive side, median debt at graduation is a relatively modest $14,782, and the small campus (under 1,000 undergrads) means you're not getting lost in the crowd. Worth considering if you value personal attention and affordable debt, but ask hard questions about academic support and what's driving that retention gap.
