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

University of South Carolina Aiken – Aiken, South Carolina

The University of South Carolina Aiken may be the rising star of the South Carolina system, but for out-of-staters, it might feel more like a financial meteor shower! In-state folks can snag a degree here for peanuts, but non-residents face a four-year price tag of $130K.

But after two decades, the waves of woe come crashing in. Believe it or not, the return on investment stands at -$66K. Yikes! Talk about trading your diploma from this public, coeducational college for a lifetime supply of shrimp and grits (without the shrimp). Sure, USC Aiken might be booming, but college is a marathon, not a quick dip in the Atlantic.
