Hollins University
Location: Roanoke, Virginia
Hollins University could be worse, but it also has some serious room for improvement that should be taken into consideration when looking for schools.
For instance, the tuition is higher than average, at nearly $37,000. When you add on living expenses, students shell out about $53,000 every year.
Agnes Scott College
Location: Decatur, Georgia
This Southern school doesn’t offer graduates much in the form of a median salary, which is around $39,000 10 years after they begin their journey at Agnes Scott.
Compare that to the annual attendance cost of $41,160, and you can see why maybe it’s best to keep searching for other colleges.
Purdue University Global,
Location: West Lafayette, IN
Online Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana, has some big issues. Purdue Global, formerly the for-profit Kaplan University, is so bad that it actually makes students sign a waiver during the admissions process that waives their right to sue the school if (more like when) it becomes problematic.
And their acquisition of the shady, tarnished school is a testament to the fact Purdue cares more about money than it does about its students.
St. John’s College
Location: Annapolis, Maryland
If you live in or around the Annapolis area, you may be considering St. John’s College for higher education.
There are worse schools around Maryland by far, but you should know that they don’t have the best ROI at this one, either. Especially when you consider the low median salary of just over $33,000 – 10 years after the fact.
