The University of California has a ton of good things going for it and is actually a pretty great school for a number of reasons, including the 91% graduation rate. But there is a big but…
They made the list because their campus is listed as having the second-highest crime rate of all the higher education facilities in the country, according to Insurify.
Ashford University
Location: San Diego, CA
In 2017, Ashford University was sued by the California attorney general for making “false promises” to students and trying illegal methods of collecting their debt. Graduates of Ashford have trouble finding jobs that pay enough for them to make a dent in their loans.
Stay far, far away from this university in San Diego.
Vassar College
Location: Poughkeepsie, New York
More than 2,300 undergraduates attend Vassar each year, all of them paying around $57,000 for the opportunity.
But after ten years, most graduates are making less than $55,000 – that doesn’t seem worth the effort, does it?
Whittier College
Location: Whittier, California
Nearly 1,690 undergraduates pass through the halls of Whittier each year, and they all pay somewhere around $47,886.
But the median salary of an alum is just $46,800 – something about that doesn’t seem right, does it?
Lewis-Clark State College
Location: Lewiston, Idaho
Lewis-Clark State College in Lewiston, Idaho, isn’t going to ruin your life or anything, but it might leave you – and your wallet – a bit dissatisfied. They’ve got some positive things in their corner, like their 97% acceptance rate and their low tuition, which averages around $11,000 per year.
But they also have some room for improvement, like their graduation rate, which is just over 30%. On average, students will also find themselves facing nearly $20,000 in loan debt.
