Idaho — Idaho State University
Average net price per year: $13,349
Median earnings six years after graduation: $35,700
Idaho doesn’t have many medium- and large-sized colleges, so although Idaho State University comes in at the bottom of the pack, it isn’t bad in terms of value. The net price of tuition is slightly below the national average, and the median earnings six years after graduation are slightly above average. The typical student loan debt over four years is $21,876, and only 7.6% of borrowers default on their loans. “It is a decent university, but the prices are continually climbing ever higher,” a senior says in a review online.
