+2000...I am sure that a student can get a fabulous education at Auburn. And hopefully enjoy themselves for 4 years too. Struggling to find a negative in this. |
Absolutely fabulous. 4 year graduation rate of 47% Hope the kid likes it = he/she may be there awhile.

You sound like a delightful human being. |
I'm an educator, it's the truth. The lower end of higher ed is basically a scam exploiting the desperate/stupid. It's very sad. Open door CCs, unranked LACs, unranked public Us are nearly as bad as for-profit scam colleges. |
Which is higher than UMBC, which I believe is also a good school. And I think Auburn would be more fun with more Big State opportunities if your student is motivated. Some kids work through college and cannot always graduate (or pay for school) to get done in 4 years. You need some perspective. |
I think UMBC's 4 yr. graduation rate is around 63% And remember this: At Auburn the vast majority of the students are from Alabama - and thus products of that state's education system. At least with UMBC I assume most students are from Md., NJ., Va - big difference. |
| Any good ed ea schools release today (Monday)? |
| ED accept at Cornell for non-hooked daughter. Psyched. |
Congrats! Waiting to hear here. What’s her major? |
Nice to hear good news! Congrats! Her hard work paid off. |
+1. We need people like you to tell students (and parents) that to do some random degree in some substandard institution while ending with $100k or more in debt is the very definition of insanity. |

Many do not take on debt
|
Auburn is ranked #103 in the US. For reference there are about 4000 4 year colleges in the US. |
Um, no. UMBC four year graduation rate is 38%. Sad! |
can you supply the link on that? Not saying you're wrong but just to verify ... |
