Vermont — Goddard College
Average net price per year: $23,187
Median earnings six years after graduation: $25,400
Goddard College is another small school that made our list due to a shortage of medium- and large-sized options in the state. It costs quite a bit extra to attend Goddard, but after six years in the workforce, you can expect to make $7,628 less than the national average. That’s not particularly inspiring, especially when the typical borrower is taking on a painful $31,452 in debt for their four-year program. If your student loan debt feels like it will go on forever, look into whether you might qualify for a debt consolidation loan to help you pay it off faster. “It was a unique experience,” a grad student comments. “Very welcoming and open to all various educational opportunities, [but] there was little support as far as advising.”
