The thread on graduating from schools with low grad rates spurred me to think more about why some colleges have very low graduation rates.

Any thoughts or better rankings for this? I have one from DegreeChoices which is more empirically sound than this one, but this one raised some good points to consider such as prevalence of law suits against universities.


50 worst colleges in America

SheBudgets ranks Colleges based on their graduation rate, quality of education, the school’s reputation, cost, and the percentage of graduates who find jobs. Obviously, this ranking is not scientific but interesting nonetheless.

Many deserve to be on list with low graduation rates around 20% or less, high tuition, poor management, and poor job prospects afterwards

However not sure all the colleges on its list deserve to be there:
Marquette 84% grad rate but claims of high crime
RPI in NY 61% grad rate but claims of students free speech quashed
University of DC 18% grad rate and tired facilities
Georgetown in DC 45 % grad rate but claims free speech quashed

Marquette, RPI and Georgetown do NOT belong on that list. Plenty of schools are in areas with High Crime. U Chicago is fairly similar area to Marquette. You don't go there if you are looking for a SLAC in rural Vermont town. RPI is also in a not very nice area. But overall it's a good school---just know what you are getting into with 4 years in Troy, but you will get an excellent education

This list and this post are inherently racist and ignore than places where you get a music or arts degree have other benefits than earning high $$

There are also arts schools on the list which will have lower economic pay off just because that is the nature of arts.
