Location: Johnson, Vermont
Johnson State was established back in 1828. In 2018, however, it merged with the nearby (former) Lyndon State and became Northern Vermont University.
The acceptance rate at NVU is 95%, but the graduation rate is only 37%. Tuition is also fairly high, at $15,000 per year on average.
Plymouth State University
Location: Plymouth, New Hampshire This school has actually fired a professor (and reprimand another) for assisting a former student at a sentencing hearing in court.
Granted, the charges against her were pretty bad, but regardless of the school administration's feelings on the case, those disciplinary actions violated the staff members’ freedom of speech.
Lawrence University
Location: Appleton, Wisconsin You could certainly do worse than Lawrence University, who has a graduation rate of 80%, but you’ll have to spend a ton of money if you choose to attend, and you may not get the reward you’re hoping for.
The annual tuition cost is over $47,000, but most grads only make around $44,000 per year 10 years after enrolling.
University Of Alaska Anchorage
Location: Alaska
Alaska isn't exactly a place that is full of higher education options, but surprisingly, most of the colleges in Alaska are pretty good. Not the University Of Alaska Anchorage, though. Not only is the tuition in this university very high, but there's also a pretty low graduation rate — 31%.
Add this to the fact that most graduates only pay back 12% of their loans in the first three years after graduation and you get a very bad college.
Black Hills State University
Location: South Dakota
If you are looking to default on your loans, this might the University for you. 9.3% of graduates find themselves in that position. With a graduation rate of 33%, over 60% of the students drop out without completing their degree.
The questionable experience of attending this college is still very expensive, costing at around $18,723 for an instate student per year.
