High Cost, Low Return: Why You Should Reconsider Attending These Colleges!

Miles College – Fairfield, Alabama

With its UNCF designation and focus on civic engagement, Miles College in Fairfield, Alabama, carries a legacy of activism. But even with a generous $1 million donation from Charles Barkley in 2020, the financial prospects for its 1,500 students look grim.

PayScale paints a bleak picture, with a $90.2K price tag for a four-year degree and a mere 17 percent graduating on time. Despite its mission and notable alums, the financial hurdles at Miles College suggest that a degree here might not be the path to prosperity. Two decades after graduation, the return on investment stands at a discouraging level -$164.6K. Yikes!
