Location: Gambier, Ohio
Kenyon College in Ohio has some good things going for it, including its high graduation rate of nearly 90%.
Students pay a pretty penny every year to attend the Midwestern school, however – almost $56,000. But that number looks even worse if you compare it to the median ten-year salary of $48,700.
Eckerd College
Location: St. Petersburg, Florida
Although they’re located in a gorgeous area, this is another school that has an ROI that’s just plain bad.
Why would anyone want to spend $44,540 per year to make $42,200 in the future? If you’re considering Eckerd, you may want to rethink your options.
Baker College
Location: Flint, Michigan
Baker College in Flint, Michigan, is in the midst of shutting down. In August of 2020, the Flint Township campus closed – although they just consolidated and moved to Owosso. It’s no secret that the people living in Flint have dealt with their fair share of (serious) problems over the past several years, which continues to this day.
Aside from the obvious issues, local grads are dealing with more than $22,000 in debt and struggling to pay it, thanks to an average salary of just over $27,000.
Long Island University
Location: Brooklyn, New York
This university has an acceptance rate of 88%, which makes the 32% graduation rate look even lower than it is.
They have also faced scrutiny more than once for their policies that restrict free speech.
Emmanuel College
Location: Franklin Springs, Georgia
Emmanuel doesn’t exactly graduate a very comforting percentage of its students either, just 45%.
And after paying more than $27,000 per year, students deserve to walk away with their degree.
