Location: New Ulm, Minnesota
Martin Luther College seems to be all about the sports, as nearly a third of all students participate in varsity sports programs.
But unless you’re planning on being a professional athlete, you should consider the fact you’re looking at a ROI of around -$122,000.
Central State University
Location: Wilberforce, Ohio
If you live near Central State in Wilberforce, Ohio, and you’re interested in sticking around, you should know what you’ll get yourself into if you choose to attend. Probably the biggest thing to be aware of is the fact students graduate with an average of nearly $27,000 in loan debt.
The other is that six years after entry, the median earnings of a Central State alum are just over $26,000. Something about that doesn’t quite add up.
Grinnell College
Location: Grinnell, Iowa As far as academics go, Grinnell has one of the best liberal arts programs in the country.
But in order to attend, you’ve got to make it through their 20% acceptance rate and shell out nearly $49,000 per year.
California Baptist University
Location: Riverside, California In California, the SB 1146 bill works to protect students at private universities from discrimination based on gender or sexual orientation.
But CBU actively worked against it and has expelled students simply for being transgendered.
Heritage University
Location: Toppenish, Washington
This private university is located on the Yakama Indian Reservation in Washington. It actually has some pretty great things going for it, so it isn’t all bad. It has the best graduation rate out of any school on this list so far at over 84% - which is unfathomably higher than 8%.
It isn’t terribly expensive, but it’s not cheap either, with the average student paying $11,742 per year. The median salary at six years isn’t very good, either, and is currently reported at right around $35,000.
