Tuition at Olympic College in Bremerton, Washington, is dirt cheap, so if you’re just looking for a passable education, this school might be an OK pick. The median salary for graduates after six years in the workforce is almost exactly the national average. That said, the graduation rate at Olympic is only 24%, and a larger-than-average percentage of students (17.8%) default on their student loans. “It’s a decent school to get an associate’s degree at, but of course it’s nothing special,” writes one freshman reviewer. “This was like being back at high school, just with more freedom.”
