North Carolina — University of North Carolina at Pembroke
Average net price per year: $11,576
Median earnings six years after graduation: $34,400
The University of North Carolina at Pembroke is a decent institution that isn’t failing its students but is failing to impress. The school has reasonably affordable tuition, but the median salary you can expect to earn after six years in the workforce is about average. Students who take on loans to pay for their time at UNC Pembroke typically wind up with $22,368 in debt, and the rate of borrowers who default on their loans is consistent with the national average. “UNCP does not look out for their students like they say they will,” says one reviewer, a senior-year student. “There are some good professors, but there are a lot who are just there to get a check. I feel as if they do not care for the students like they said they would.”
