Location: Middletown, Connecticut
Wesleyan University has a wonderful graduation rate of 93%, but they’ve made the list because of their less-than-desirable return on investment.
That’s because they charge nearly $55,000 per year – which is about the median salary of Wesleyan grads 10 years after entry.
Chaminade University
Location: Honolulu, Hawaii
It may seem like an absolute dream to go to college in Hawaii. After all, many Hawaiian college campuses are near the most beautiful scenery you’ll ever see in your life. Chaminade University isn’t one of the worst ones on this list by far, but they aren’t very good, either – especially if the price is a factor.
The school has tuition that’s higher than average, and students usually wind up with around $26,000 in debt. That may not be horrible, but six years after entry, the salary for a Chaminade grad averages less than $39,000. One thing they’ve got going for them is the low default rate, which is just over 5.5%.
Keiser University
Location: Ft. Lauderdale, FL
Keiser University in Ft. Lauderdale isn’t a terrible school, but it’s definitely not among the best in the country, either.
In fact, it’s ranked at #272 – so there are at least 271 better schools for you to choose from. Plus, tuition is pretty expensive, at around $18,000.
Johnson University
Location: Kimberlin Heights, Tennessee
If you’re looking for a school with any sort of social scene or nightlife in the area, you might want to continue your search.
Johnson is located in Kimberlin Heights, which has a population of fewer than 2,000 people. Plus, graduates are looking at spending too much and earning too little, with an ROI of around -$97,000.
University of Cincinnati
Location: Cincinnati, Ohio
If you’re looking to spend a ton of money on tuition with the possibility of not making nearly enough money over the next ten years or so to make a dent in your student loan debt – go for it!
They charge out-of-state students nearly $27,000 per year. Plus, they’re number 18 on Insurify’s list of the top 20 most dangerous college campuses in the U.S.
